Clio; muse of history

Our Sauvignon Blanc is crafted entirely in stainless steel, embracing a traditional approach reminiscent of the old world’s Sauvignon Blancs, particularly those from Austria. The grapes are gently whole-cluster pressed to preserve their expressive qualities, resulting in a wine that is bright, vibrant, and light-bodied, with a long, lingering finish. Fermented and aged in stainless steel tanks, our Sauvignon Blanc showcases a crisp acidity and vibrant fruit flavors, standing out for its expressiveness while honoring its classic roots.

Nestled in the heart of the St. Helena Valley floor within Napa Valley, our Sauvignon Blanc vineyard is steeped in history, having witnessed the love story that propelled the Hernández family’s journey in Napa. This vineyard, situated across from the family home, has quietly observed the siblings grow and their parents’ love deepen over the years. These grapes are our historians, and it is only fitting that this wine is dedicated to Clio, the muse of history.
The vineyard benefits from a unique terroir, characterized by sought-after soils and a warm climate, moderated by the surrounding hills. This combination allows for optimal ripening and the development of vibrant flavors with balanced acidity. The extended sunlight hours in this location contribute to the grape's aromatic intensity and crisp character, making it a prized site for producing Sauvignon Blanc wines that exhibit both richness and refreshing vibrancy.
