Winemaker Notes

Classic aromas of wet grass, pineapple, lemon chiffon and gooseberry are accented by hints of grapefruit, kiwi and lime. Subtle notes of lemongrass and green apple round out the layered and balanced nose. A crisp, zesty palate presents vibrant tropical flavors of pineapple, papaya and dragon fruit. The mouthfeel is full and round, offering secondary layers of melon and quince supported by a solid lemon-lime core. Notes of juicy pineapple, guava, citrus and green apple emerge on a clean, exuberant finish.

Vineyard Notes

DAOU Sauvignon Blanc comes predominantly from our favorite vineyards in the Highlands District AVA and El Pomar District AVA of Paso Robles. The Highlands District’s high elevations and intense diurnal temperature shifts produce a wine that balances ripe flavors with fine acidity. The more moderate conditions of the El Pomar District tease out pure varietal character in the Sauvignon Blanc fruit. Together, these AVAs create a multifaceted expression of Paso Robles-grown Sauvignon Blanc.
