Sauvignon Blanc, Margerum 'Sybarite'

The word Sybarite is derived from Sybaris, an ancient Greek city in southeastern Italy noted for the luxurious, pleasure-seeking behavior of many of its inhabitants. Sybarites are people who have a fondness for sensuous luxury.

This wine is crafted from a blend of Sauvignon Blanc grapes grown primarily on the rolling hills of the Happy Canyon of Santa Barbara AVA. Arguably one of the finest regions to grow Sauvignon Blanc.

With notes of stone fruit, granite, white flower blossoms, toast, creamy lemon and some plantain, this wine is also layered with a slight hint of gunflint and fruity Sauvignon. The grapes were picked early for acidity, and then later again for ripeness and then blended for balance

It is mainly stainless steel fermented with a small amount of barrel fermented lots blended in Bâtonnage [stirring of the lees] leads to savory notes. Lees add to mouthwatering sensation It is rich, tight, lean and full with layers of slate, lime, green melon tropical and lemongrass.
