1882 Sauvignon Blanc

In 1882, Captain Gustave Niebaum produced his first vintage wine. Niebaum’s status as one of the leading
pioneers of Napa Valley’s wine industry inspired us to produce our 1882 Sauvignon Blanc on the same land.

Tasting Notes

A bouquet of zesty grapefruit and Meyer lemon, provides our 1882 Sauvignon Blanc an invigorating freshness. Intertwined with the vibrant citruses are the enchanting aromas of passion fruit, imparting a tropical allure. Soft, white peach notes and delicate white flowers add an elegant dimension on the palate. All of this is beautifully underpinned by a subtle minerality that provides structure and a refreshing, mouthwatering finish.

Vintage Notes

The 2022 vintage unfolded gracefully as the soil retained moisture from early rains. The reduced need for extensive irrigation resulted in healthy canopies followed by early bloom and veraison. Mild July temperatures and classically cool Napa Valley summer nights preserved the freshness and acidity in our Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon. The warmth of August contributed to achieving their optimal ripeness at harvest which commenced on August 11th and concluded on August 22nd.
