Stag's Leap Cellars Aveta Sauvignon Blanc 2023

From the iconic Stag's Leap District in Napa Valley, the 2023 Aveta Sauvignon Blanc is a radiant expression of place and precision. Crafted from estate-grown fruit and select vineyards across the region, including Danika Ranch and Rancho Chimiles, this vintage benefits from one of Napa’s coolest growing seasons in recent memory. The wine captures the essence of the valley’s alluvial soils and cooling maritime influence, with a blend composed primarily of Sauvignon Blanc, enhanced by Sauvignon Musque, Sémillon, and a hint of Muscat Canelli.

Bright and expressive, Aveta 2023 opens with fragrant layers of white peach, mango, pineapple, and gooseberries, accented by subtle floral notes and a touch of straw. Fermented in stainless steel and neutral French oak, then aged on lees for six months, the wine offers a supple mouthfeel that balances its vibrant acidity. Its mineral-driven profile leads into a refreshing finish marked by citrus, grapefruit, and a whisper of fresh-cut grass.

With an alcohol content of 13.5%, this Sauvignon Blanc is crisp yet rounded, ideal for sipping chilled on a warm afternoon or paired with fresh seafood, citrus-dressed salads, or goat cheese. A wine born of thoughtful farming and a standout vintage, Aveta 2023 is both a tribute to tradition and a benchmark for Napa Valley white wines.
