RobertMondavi RESERVE Sauvignon Blanc Botrytis California Description: At 90 years of age, RobertMondavi remains the global emissary for these wine. His vision was to create wines in California that belong in the company of the great wines of the world. RobertMondavi is known for producing hand-crafted wines of distinct style. Representing the best of California wine growing regions, including the legendary Napa Valley, each of the wines offers unique qualities and characteristics. Only in certain years can Mondavi make Sauvignon Blanc Botrytis as specific weather conditions are required for full Botrytis development of the grapes. In these years the Botrytis-affected clusters are hand picked when the sugar levels reached just over 40%. Harvesting these shriveled grapes is a labour of love because each cluster must be individually selected. Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon were harvested from the RobertMondavi Wappo Hill Vineyard in the Stags Leap District AVA, on the southeastern flank of Napa Valley. Due to the mold's dehydrating effect, almost twice the normal amount of grapes is needed to make the wine, giving the wine great flavour intensity and concentration. After gently pressing the grapes as whole clusters, Mondavi fermented the juice in 60-gallon French oak barrels to give the wine complexity and depth. The wine fermented slowly for two months until it reached 13% alcohol, at which time the yeast activity naturally stopped, leaving a residual sugar of 16.6%. Finally, the wine was aged on the yeast lees and each barrel is gently hand-stirred once a month, to increase the creamy texture of the wine, during the 18 months of barrel ageing. The lush, opulent flavours are the result of Botrytis cinerea while it has concentrated the grape sugars and intensified the wine's complex aromas and flavours. Ageing in French oak barrels has woven vanilla nuances through the rich layers of honey, apricot and toasted hazelnut to produce an enjoyable wine of power and intensity. Available in half bottles.
