Frog's Leap Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc 2018
Frog’s Leap has been producing utterly delicious wines since 1981. Founder John Williams is an old-school California winemaker who knows how important work in the vineyard is to their end-product. After nearly three decades of providing fantastic grapes, the Galleron vineyard in Rutherford - a major source of Sauvignon Blanc grapes - is showing signs of wear and tear, and is ready for a refresh. As the team at Frog's Leap replant and update Galleron, they've reached out to some of the growers who helped build the reputation of Frog’s Leap Sauvignon Blanc in the early days, and have started to source fruit from them again. As the work progresses at Galleron, you’ll note that the wine carries the Napa Valley appellation. The 2018 Sauvignon Blanc is lovely, with stone fruit, crisp green apple, and wonderfully bright mineral flavours. This is Frog’s Leap Sauvignon Blanc in all its glory. Bottled for the first time with a twist-off cap to protect the integrity of its aromas, it is now easier than ever to enjoy this wine with a roasted tomato and goat cheese tart.
