Grgich Hills Sauvignon Blanc
Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc, estate grown, organically farmed since 2006.
The story behind Grgich Hills
Grgich Hills Estate sits in Rutherford, in the heart of Napa Valley. Miljenko "Mike" Grgich and Austin Hills founded it in 1977, and the Grgich family still owns and runs it. Mike was the winemaker behind the 1973 Chateau Montelena Chardonnay that won the 1976 Judgment of Paris, the tasting that put California on the map.
The estate farms its Napa vineyards organically and biodynamically, certified organic since 2006 and biodynamic since 2008. Native yeast fermentation and French oak are house habits. The Sauvignon Blanc comes off those estate vines, which is why it tastes like a place and not a recipe.

Grgich Hills cocktails and pairings
Pour the Sauvignon Blanc cold with shellfish, goat cheese, or a green herb salad. The Cabernet wants fire and fat.
