Eisele Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc Half showcases the vineyard`s commitment to craftsmanship in Napa Valley. Owned by François Pinault of Château Latour, Eisele Vineyard is among Napa`s oldest properties, first established in the 1880s. This release primarily comprises Sauvignon Blanc Musqué, capturing the complexity inherent to the estate`s terroir. Organically cultivated, the grapes were handpicked at optimal ripeness. The wine underwent fermentation and ageing for 12 months in a combination of stainless steel, cement and oak, contributing structure while preserving the variety`s natural vibrancy.

The 2022 Sauvignon Blanc spent 12 months on the lees in a mix of stainless steel eggs (23%), concrete eggs (12%), used oak barrels (33%) and new oak barrels (32%). A hint of pencil shavings accents the aromas of grapefruit, gooseberries and nectarines on the nose, while the medium-bodied palate is plump and slightly creamy, culminating in a long, mouthwatering finish. - Joe Czerwinski

Another historic vineyard in Napa, first planted in the 1880s Eisele Vineyard sits in the northeast of the Napa Valley, east of Calistoga. Bart and Daphne Araujo converted the vineyards to organic farming in 1998 before moving to biodynamic practices in 2000. Broadly considered one of the great Cabernet Sauvignon terroirs in Napa, the wines continue to win praise from wine lovers and critics alike.
Eisele Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon is the flagship wine, but the estate also producer a second wine called Altagracia, a Syrah and a Sauvignon Blanc. Before 2016, the wines were bottled under the Araujo label.
