2022 TWOMEY NAPA AND SONOMA COUNTY SAUVIGNON BLANC The 2022 Twomey Napa and Sonoma County Sauvignon Blanc is a vibrant white wine crafted by Twomey, a winery known for its modern approach to winemaking and its commitment to sustainability. This wine blends Sauvignon Blanc grapes primarily sourced from the winery's estate vineyards in both Napa and Sonoma Counties, areas renowned for their distinct microclimates and soil types that contribute uniquely to the wine’s profile. Twomey's dedication to capturing the essence of each vineyard can be seen in the careful selection of grapes that balance the fruit-driven styles of Napa with the crisp acidity that Sonoma County is known for. The winemaking process for the 2022 vintage involved the use of both stainless steel and neutral oak, aiming to enhance the wine's freshness while adding a touch of complexity. The use of neutral oak allows the vibrant fruit flavors to shine without adding the overt oaky flavors that can overshadow the delicate nuances of Sauvignon Blanc. The fermentation techniques and the proportion of oak used are meticulously tailored to ensure that the wine reflects the character and purity of the fruit. On the palate, the 2022 Twomey Sauvignon Blanc is characterized by its dynamic blend of lively acidity and rich fruitiness. It typically displays flavors of citrus, melon, and tropical fruits, with subtle herbal notes that add depth and complexity. The finish is clean and refreshing, making it an excellent companion to a wide range of dishes, particularly seafood, light pasta dishes, and poultry. This wine not only represents the quality of the Twomey label but also embodies the distinctive attributes of the terroirs of Napa and Sonoma Counties. Winery Notes: "With a slightly higher percentage of Napa Valley fruit than recent vintages, the 2022 Twomey Sauvignon Blanc showcases the richness, depth and tropical notes of the warmer growing region. This rich, round texture is balanced by freshness, floral- and citrus-driven aromas from the Russian River Valley where both the Healdsburg Estate and Merino Vineyards are located. Notes of white peach, pomelo and almond blossom give way to a lively core of freshness and energy with a hint of structural framing on a long finish."
