The valley experienced unseasonable precipitation into early June. The cool weather continued, with a pleasant summer with few heat spikes. As September approached, growers had concern that the larger than normal crop on the vine would not fully ripen as fog prevailed well into when warm temperatures of Indian Summer typically prevail to harvest. Eventually, though later than normal, the warm days arrived, ripening the grapes to full maturity.</blockquote> <u>Winemaking notes:</u><blockquote>Vineyard yields were slightly lower than average at 5 tons to the acre, and average harvest sugar was 23.2&#176; Brix. After destemming and gentle pressing, all of the juice was fermented cold in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks and stainless steel barrels to ensure the characteristic sprightliness Silverado Sauvignon Blanc is known for.</blockquote> <u>Analysis:</u><blockquote>Alcohol, 13.9 percent; titratable acidity, 6.4 grams per liter; pH, 3.20; residual sugar, 0.10 percent.</blockquote> <u>Tasting notes:</u><blockquote>Alcohol, 13.9 percent; titratable acidity, 6.4 grams per liter; pH, 3.20; residual sugar, 0.10 percent.</blockquote> </P> <P> <LI>SKU: SBN057 </P> <BR clear=left><BR><P><A HREF="http://store.silveradovineyards.com" TITLE="Silverado Vineyards Wines">Silverado Vineyards Wines</A></P> <BR clear=left><BR><BR><BR><BR> <BR><A HREF="http://www.silveradovineyards.com">silverado vineyards</A> <BR>Silverado Vineyards <A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com" TITLE="shopping cart">shopping cart</A> powered by Nexternal
