Meyer Lemon, Passion Fruit, Crushed Stone, and Paso Robles Coastal Freshness

The 2023 DAOU Sauvignon Blanc is a vibrant, aromatic, and impeccably crisp white wine crafted from the cool, limestone-rich heights of Paso Robles. Inspired by the freshness of Bordeaux style whites yet distinctly shaped by DAOU Mountain's unique terroir, this unoaked wine bursts with dazzling aromas of Meyer lemon, pink grapefruit, passion fruit, and a hint of white florals. On the palate, it is bright and medium-bodied, driven by mouth-watering citrus acidity and a clean, mineral-tinged finish that offers exceptional refreshment.

Terroir & Estate Craft

  • DAOU Mountain Limestone Terroir: Sourced from high-elevation vineyards in the Adelaida District of Paso Robles. The unique calcareous clay and pure limestone soils mirror those of Bordeaux and the Rhône, providing exceptional drainage and imparting a distinctive chalky minerality and structural tension to the fruit.
  • Pristine Stainless Steel Vinification: Crafted by brothers Georges and Daniel DAOU, the wine is entirely unoaked. Gentle whole-cluster pressing and cool temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel vats preserve the vibrant tropical fruit aromatics, razor-sharp natural acidity, and unblemished coastal freshness.

Highlights

  • 100% Sauvignon Blanc harvested from high-elevation limestone soils on DAOU Mountain in Paso Robles.
  • A radiant 2023 release bursting with Meyer lemon, pink grapefruit, passion fruit, and wet stone.
  • Crafted unoaked for ultimate purity; ideal for immediate enjoyment over the next 2 to 3 years.

Tasting Notes

  • Appearance: Brilliant pale straw with vivid green reflections.
  • Nose: Fragrant, lively, and intensely aromatic. It opens with notes of Meyer lemon, pink grapefruit, and passion fruit, layered with subtle white peach, fresh lemongrass, and crushed limestone.
  • Palate: Bone-dry, medium-bodied, and crisp. A bright wave of citrus and tropical fruit sap glides across a smooth mid-palate, framed by zesty, invigorating acidity into a clean, mineral-driven, and refreshing finish.

Serving Suggestion

  • Temperature: Serve well-chilled at 8–10°C to highlight its sharp citrus drive and mineral tension.
  • Decanting: No decanting required; open and serve fresh. Best enjoyed young through 2027.
  • Western Pairing: Fresh oysters on the half shell, grilled lemon-herb chicken, goat cheese salad, or pan-seared sea scallops.
  • Asian Pairing: Vietnamese summer rolls, Thai green papaya salad, sushi and sashimi, or salt-and-pepper calamari.
