In the before times, when we were daydreaming about the wines we would make for Common Wealth Crush, no one raised their hand and said “I must make a Sauvignon Blanc!” That’s not because we don’t like the grape, it makes delicious wine, but it just wasn’t on the radar. However, when you get a shot at some Shenandoah Valley Sauvignon Blanc, grown at 1,400 feet of elevation on limestone, you jump on it. In CWC fashion, this is not simply fresh and fruity; it is rich and textured, with depth and salty minerality to complement the stone, and dare we say, kiwi, fruits.

Vineyard Sourcing: The SB, PB, and PG grapes were sourced from a vineyard farmed by the Noer family - John Jr. and John Sr. - located in Verona in the Shenandoah Valley. Frederick loam soils with limestone and sandstone. The Gruner Veltliner was sourced from a small vineyard near Natural Bridge.

How We Made It: Sauvignon Blanc grapes were direct pressed, SO2 was added and the wine fermented spontaneously in a combination of stainless tank and neutral barrels. After partial malo, SO2 was added to preserve malic acid. The other grapes were blended in and the wine filtered prior to bottling on 3/27/2023.
