Description
Life from Stone Sauvignon Blanc is made from rocky soils in the Napa Valley. The vineyard has to battle against nature to grow the grapes, and the wine has a flinty, mineral character. The wine can be enjoyed now or can be enjoyed in the next 2-3 years. The grapes have no flavor that they impart on the wine, and the wine is simply made from the less concentrated fruit.
Springfield Life from Stone derives its name from the incredibly rocky soils in which it is grown. Every year the vineyard battles against nature in order to produce highly concentrated, powerful wines with a flinty, mineral character true to the quartz rock in which it is grown. Monumental human effort was required to plant the vines implements destroyed, and, in the case of the older vineyards, dynamite deployed.
A true expression of the sites terroir, this wine will drink well now, or can be enjoyed in the next 2-3 years.
Stones have no flavour that they impart on wine - they simply make the soil less. If there is less soil the vine produces more concentrated fruit, the same happens with old vines, also when vines are planted in high density. As the rock opposes the vine so does a nearby plant; and age limit growth and crop. Life from Stone has the good fortune to have all these 3 concentrating factors in its favor thus the unmatched complexity of a great wine.
