Stolpman Vineyards Sauvignon Blanc Santa Barbara

Stolpman Vineyards is one of Santa Barbara County's most respected estate producers, farming limestone-rich soils in the Santa Ynez Valley where the east-west orientation of the transverse ranges channels Pacific cooling directly into the vineyards. While Syrah is Stolpman's flagship, their estate Sauvignon Blanc shows what this variety can do in a cooler California setting: aromatic and vivid, with citrus zest, tropical fruit, stone fruit, and a crisp, mineral-driven finish that distinguishes it from the rounder styles of warmer regions. Estate-grown and farmed organically, it captures the freshness and precision that Santa Barbara's geography is increasingly celebrated for.
