Vintage Report
The wines from California for the 2023 vintage have not yet been sufficiently tasted by Robert Parker to receive a definitive score (indicated as NT). Therefore, a complete picture or detailed report of this recent vintage is not yet available.
Bernardus Sauvignon Blanc, actually the neglected child of this magnificent winery. But certainly no less special. This Sauvignon Blanc from Bernardus is also highly recommended! The Musqué grape belongs to the Sauvignon Blanc family and is a grape with an exceptionally rich flavor. A small portion of Semillon grapes is added to give the wine a little more depth.
The perfect vineyard for Bernardus Sauvignon Blanc
The Griva Vineyard, known as the home of the Musqué grape, is a beautiful piece of land where a passion for winemaking comes to life. In the mid-1990s, Michael Griva decided to plant a vineyard of the famous Sauvignon Blanc "Musqué" varietal, especially for Bernardus. He later added several rows of Semillion. The grapes from the Griva Vineyard enjoy a slow ripening process, aided by the cooling mountain winds and the sea spray. These unique conditions create a perfect balance in the grapes, resulting in wines of exceptional quality. The vines grow on loam and stony soils known for their excellent drainage and ability to retain heat, especially during cold nights. The Griva Vineyard embodies the essence of craftsmanship and terroir, resulting in wines that seduce the senses and delight the palate with their unique personality. This makes this Sauvignon Blanc slightly fuller than regular Sauvignon Blanc wines. Furthermore, 20% of this delicious wine has been aged in oak barrels, adding even more character and fullness to the white wine.The aroma and taste of the Bernardus Griva Sauvignon
When pouring the Bernardus Sauvignon Blanc, the pale gold color with a fresh green shimmer is immediately striking. The aroma is wonderfully fresh and slightly vibrant. Aromas of gooseberry, tropical fruit, and freshly mown grass greet you delightfully. Thanks to the oak aging, this white wine achieves a perfect balance of fruit and acidity in both aroma and taste. The taste, man, what a delicious Sauvignon Blanc! Wonderfully full-bodied, thick, and yet refreshing. A Sauvignon Blanc of the highest caliber! The beautiful nuances of grapefruit, gooseberry, and citrus are perfectly balanced with a touch of vanilla and reddish notes from the oak. The finish is phenomenal and elegant. This Sauvignon Blanc deserves to be on the same pedestal as the Bernardus Chardonnay!Product details
