2023 Métier Sauvignon Blanc
Columbia Valley AVA
The vibrant, enticing 2023 Métier Sauvignon Blanc displays a medley of fruit on the nose, with tree fruit, citrus, and pineapple. Bright and silky on the palate, this wine balances generous fruit flavors on a lively structure and a lengthy finish.

An approachable take on Delille's Chaleur Blanc with 100% Sauvignon, only 8% oak, but it spends plenty of time on lees, giving this wine a rich opulence and gorgeous texture. Honeyed and wild flower aromatics, with a dash of dried herbs. Poached pear flavours, nutmeg and ripe lemon curd.
