Regular Decoy Sauvignon Blanc is used as the base wine. Like Decoy, it uses high-quality grapes. A portion of the base wine made using traditional brewing methods is gently de-alcoholized while retaining most of the aroma and flavor. It is then blended with the base wine to complete the wine. The result is a light and refreshing Sauvignon Blanc with a pleasant balance of delicate citrus aromas such as Meyer lemon, grapefruit, and lime and rich tropical fruit flavors.
Vintage Information
After several years of dry vintages, abundant rains in the winter activated the soil and got off to a good start. Low temperatures from spring to summer allowed the grapes to grow gradually and have a long ripening period. Harvesting was two weeks to one month later than usual, and at Decoy, it began on September 7th with North Coast Sauvignon Blanc. After a short heat wave, it cooled down and many varieties reached maturity at the same time by the end of September, and the harvest was in full swing. Temperatures rose again in October, helping to ensure optimal ripening. This is the best vintage in recent years.
