Tasting Notes
Beaulieu Vineyard’s bright 2024 Maestro Sauvignon Blanc shines with zesty grapefruit and lime top notes, while a streak of flint lifts tropical guava and cumin spice aromas to the forefront. Rich, tropical flavors of pineapple, guava, and fresh, green coconut abound on the palate, which is smooth with well-balanced acidity and a coconut water-like creaminess that lasts through a bright, clean finish. Enjoy this agile, medium-bodied wine with fresh, light antojitos like mango and white fish ceviche, bruschetta, and gem lettuce salads.Technical Information

Winemaking
After hand harvesting and gently pressing the clusters, the juice was fermented with specifically selected yeast to enhance the wine’s intense fruit expression. Malolactic fermentation was blocked to preserve the pure fruit character. A majority of the wine was fermented in stainless-steel barrels, while a small portion was fermented and aged in new French oak. The oak aided in increased flavor complexity and richness while bâtonnage (stirring) and sur lie (on the yeast) aging provided texture and roundness.Vintage
The 2024 vintage will be remembered as a more “normal” or textbook year. Heavy winter rains provided much-needed soil moisture, supporting healthy canopy growth and resilient vines capable of enduring Napa Valley’s 60-degree temperature fluctuations. Harvest began in late August at a moderate pace through September, with rising temperatures accelerating the process into early October. Yields were generally average to slightly above average. This vintage will be celebrated for years to come, with white wines displaying remarkable brightness and depth of flavor, while red wines showcase strong character, deep color, bold tannins, and an appealing phenolic profile.Vineyard
This Sauvignon Blanc shows a true sense of place, coming from outstanding sites in the Rutherford American Viticultural Area (AVA), with the majority sourced from our own estate vineyards on the Eastern Rutherford bench. Rutherford, located in the heart of Napa Valley, has the ideal climate and soils for Sauvignon Blanc. Each block was picked at its peak maturity and fermented separately to increase the complexity of the wine. Sauvignon Blanc grown in Rutherford creates a wine that is rich and round with tropical fruit undertones.
