Trump Sauvignon Blanc Monticello 2022

Trump Winery’s 1,300-acre estate is located in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, just a few miles from historic landmarks like James Monroe’s Highland and Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello. Once the private residence of John and Patricia Kluge, Albemarle Estate was constructed between 1981 and 1985, designed by renowned architect David Easton. The winery is lead by General Manager Kerry Woolard and Winemaker Jonathan Wheeler with the goal to showcase the excellence that Virginia wines have to offer.

Winemaker's Notes

Sauvignon Blanc grapes were hand-harvested, sorted, de-stemmed and the whole berries were allowed to macerate in tank over night at 10°C to extract some of the aromatics found within the Sauvignon Blanc skins. After 12 hours the juice was extracted and the remaining juice pressed out of the skins. After cold settling, the juice was fermented at low temperatures for over one month in 100% stainless steel. After fermentation, the lees are stirred for about 3 months in tank to improve mouth feel. After six months of aging the result is a wine that is both fresh, as well as round.

This vibrant Sauvignon Blanc has aromas of grapefruit, melon, passion fruit, and boxwood. This wine has an exciting palate with a refreshing crisp and clean acidity. Enjoy with seafood and salads.
