Profile
Smell
California Sauvignon Blancs tend to showcase riper fruit than their New Zealand cousins, and Sand Point's example is no exception. It boasts notes of green and yellow apple, ripe papaya, pink grapefruit, and melon. There's a hint of the grape variety's signature grassiness as a nice herbaceous counterpoint to the fruit.
Taste
A softer, less acid-driven profile allows flavours of ripe peach and apricot to shine through on the palate of this light-bodied white. The finish is long and bright, framed by notes of orange peel and grapefruit.
Pairing
Boost the tropical fruit flavours of this ripe Sauvignon Blanc by pairing with coconut shrimp or grilled chicken with mango chutney.
Aromas and Flavours
Apple
From Granny Smith to Red Delicious, apple makes for a delightfully crisp aroma.
Grapefruit
As refreshing as aromas come, the smell of grapefruit is purely invigorating.
Lemon / Lime
Common in cool climate white wines, this aroma can range from fresh citrus to lemon zest.
Papaya
A musky aroma, sometimes described as 'a little offensive'. Recognise it from multivitamin juice?
Grass
The invigorating smell of a freshly-mowed lawn before the heat of the day takes over.

Description
Sand Point Sauvignon Blanc is from a collection of single-variety wines from LangeTwins, named after twin brothers Brad and Randall Lange. The Lange name has deep roots in Lodi wine-making; Brad and Randall are the fourth generation of grapegrowers. Joined now by the 5th generation of the family, the LangeTwins commitment to sustainability and high-quality wines continues unabated.
The Sand Point label was born out of an environmental restoration project focused on a seven acre parcel of land along the Mokelumne river, near the family ranch. After nurturing mature oak trees, planting the land with native bush and grass species, and restoring habitat for nesting wood ducks, the family realized that their vineyards could exist side by side in harmony with the region's original natural landscape. The Sand Point wines are all Certified Green under the strict standards set forth by the Lodi Rules for Sustainable Winegrowing. Enjoy this vibrant Sauvignon Blanc at 6 C over the next year or two.
