New to the assortment: Duckhorn Vineyards, Napa Valley
Discover here our new selection from the Sunshine State!
We are proud to be the general agent for this renowned Californian winery and to present you with an exciting selection.
Founded in 1976 by Dan and Margaret Duckhorn, Duckhorn Vineyards has spent nearly fifty years establishing itself as one of North America's leading Napa Valley wine producers. From the first, small vintage of 800 cases of Cabernet Sauvignon and 800 cases of Merlot in 1978 to the introduction of Sauvignon Blanc in 1982, Duckhorn Vineyards has created a tradition of quality and excellence that continues today.
The grapes for this mainly Sauvignon Blanc wine come from the best vineyards on the north coast of California. The Sauvignon Blanc North Coast is rich yet elegant, with a small amount of Sémillon adding depth, complexity and smoothness. On the nose, it reveals seductive aromas of lemon verbena, candied pineapple, lime and honeydew melon. On the palate, it is silky and mouth-filling, due in part to several months of ageing on the lees. A refreshing acidity frames the enticing citrus and tropical fruit flavours and leads the wine to a long, concentrated finish.
