The vinification: The focus of this white wine is clearly on one grape variety - Sauvignon Blanc. Only the best grapes from the Pope Valley, Wooden Valley and Oak Knoll District were brought in for this exceptionally powerful and genuine wine by Stag's Leap Wine Cellars. The grapes from the different sites give the wine its special range of exotic and green aromas. After careful manual harvesting, the grapes are gently pressed. The must is fermented cool, half of the time in stainless steel tanks, the other half in barrique barrels. The wine is then matured in used barrique barrels and to a small extent in new acacia wood barrels for around seven months on fine lees.
Tasting notes: The AVETA Sauvignon Blanc impresses with a dense, light yellow colour and fine melting texture. Finely spiced, lush aromas of ripe gooseberries, juicy grapefruits, green papaya, citrus and a hint of mandarin zest. A crisp palate, with elegant fruit and fine acid structure, rich in finesse, a light-footed, cool style, light mineral touch, animating and a very long lasting finish. A complex white wine that, in addition to its vegetal notes, particularly impresses with its filigree wood structure, smoky texture and fine vanilla notes.
Food pairings: Ideal with cream dishes, lobster soup, fine fish, grilled oysters, asparagus, tapas, lemon chicken or a light carpaccio. The long-lasting Sauvignon Blanc also wonderfully complements selected cheeses.

    Further details on the manufacturer

    The name »Stag's Leap« goes back to a legend passed on by the people of the Wappo tribe formerly living in Napa Valley. From a rocky hill in the valley, a stag is said to have escaped its hunters by a courageous leap to freedom. A good 10 million years ago, the soils were formed by volcanic activity in the Vaca Mountain Range, which borders the Napa Valley to the east. To the west, a hill runs through the middle of the valley, so that the Stag's Leap District practically forms a valley within a valley, with special lava soil and its own climatic conditions. The summers are warm, the winters mild and it rains only rarely throughout the year. Due to the warm temperatures, the grapes reach perfect ripeness. Due to the influence of the nearby Pacific Ocean, fog often forms in the morning, optimally allowing the grapes to retain their freshness and elegance. The special terroir of the Napa Valley with its more than 100 different soils with a high volcanic content and the special climate give the wines their unique flavours typical of the region. In 1970, the winery was founded by Warren Winiarski and his wife Barbara in the Napa Valley and after only a short time it attracted keen attention with its participation in the »Judgment of Paris« on 24 May 1976 in Paris. In complete contrast to what was expected, the Californians emerged as the winners in both categories in the blind tasting of ten top-class French and Californian white and red wines: Chateau Montelena 1973 (white), Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars 1973 S.L.V. Cabernet Sauvignon (red). The decision of the predominantly French jurors gave Californian wines a massive boost worldwide and made Stag's Leap Wine Cellars immortal. In 1986, Winiarski bought the neighbouring Fay Vineyard, which today, together with the original S.L.V. vineyard, forms the heart of the winery. The winery itself characterises the unmistakable style of its wines as »an iron fist in velvet gloves« - powerful wines with a backbone, clear structure, high potential, gently enveloped in juicy fruit, smoothness and consummate elegance.
