Details and technical informations about The Winery At Holy Cross Abbey's Sauvignon Blanc.
Discover the grape variety: Klevener de Heiligenstein
Aromatic, refined dry whites with a pale golden colour, a full palate and preserved acidity, showing signature aromas of discreet muscat notes (rose), white flowers, white-fleshed fruits (pear) and delicate spicy notes. A distinctive aromatic profile, more restrained than Gewurztraminer. Preserved under a specific Alsatian appellation around Heiligenstein (Bas-Rhin), producing identity-driven wines. Rare Alsatian white variety, identical to the Jurassian Savagnin Rose.

The wine region of California
Powerful, sunny reds: dense Napa Cabernet Sauvignon (blackcurrant, chocolate, tobacco, ample tannins), spicy, jammy Zinfandel from the Sierra Foothills, silky red-fruited Pinot Noir on the cool coast (Sonoma, Russian River, Central Coast). Opulent, buttery Chardonnay, notes of yellow fruit and vanilla. Varied climate, from the hot interior to the Pacific-cooled coast. 80% of US production, 139 AVAs including Napa (1st AVA, 1981).
The word of the wine: Oenologist
Specialist in wine-making techniques. It is a profession and not a passion: one can be an oenophile without being an oenologist (and the opposite too!). Formerly attached to the Faculty of Pharmacy, oenology studies have become independent and have their own university course. Learning to make wine requires a good chemical background but also, increasingly, a good knowledge of the plant. Some oenologists work in laboratories (analysis). Others, the consulting oenologists, work directly in the properties.
