Blended of 86% Sauvignon Blanc, 10% Sauvignon Musque (a clonal variant of Sauvignon Blanc), 3% Sémillon and 1% Muscat Canelli, the 2017 Sauvignon Blanc Aveta rocks up with vibrant lemon zest, yuzu and green mango scents plus a touch of wild sage. Medium-bodied with plenty of zippy freshness, it finishes on an herbal note.
About the producer

Warren Winiarski founded Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars in 1970 when he purchased the Stag’s Leap Vineyard in Napa’s Stags Leap District. The 1973 S.L.V. Cabernet Sauvignon – only the second vintage – won the famous 1976 Judgement of Paris blind tasting, rocketing the estate to fame.
