2019 CJ's Barrel Sauvignon Blanc

2019 has been the best for this variety thus far. It was a year that was neither especially hot nor cold, so the wines represent the best of both worlds.

To bring out these characteristics, 80% of the wine was fermented and aged for 9 months in concrete eggs and 20% in stainless steel and neutral French oak barrels.
