Lieu Dit Sauvignon Blanc 2023

The perfect mix of refreshing and vibrant, Lieu Dit Sauvignon Blanc is supremely elegant, showcasing aromas of lime leaf, Meyer lemon, green apple and white flowers that boom from the glass. On the palate you perceive grapefruit-driven citrus, mint, sage, wet stone and white pepper, and finishes with mouthwatering acidity and minerality. Drink when you’ve closed your computer and taken a deep breath.

Sauvignon Blanc is the most popular wine at Lieu Dit. It often first presents itself as simply refreshing, but a lot of thought and work goes into crafting that supremely enjoyable, nuanced glass of wine. As always, it begins in the vineyards. 

"Lieu Dit" [lyoo-dee] is a fancy French wine term that means “named place.” The winemakers at Lieu Dit love the idea that the vineyards that grow the best grapes gain enough of a reputation that everyone starts calling them by their name. In their little corner of sunny Santa Barbara, California, they know the best places where the best grapes are responsibly grown. That helps them make simple, delicious, honest wine. 

100% Sauvignon Blanc sourced from McGinley Vineyard and Happy Canyon Vineyard in Santa Ynez Valley AVA, at 300-800 ft elevation, in soils of clay, yellow/red chert, serpentine rocks, sandy loam, cobbles and high mineral levels. Farmed sustainably and organically, fermented in tank and barrel with native yeast, aged in neutral barrels and stainless-steel tanks.
