About Peju 2022 Sauvignon Blanc
PEJU Winery began with Tony Peju daring to sell wines in an informal facility: the garage at their vineyard estate in Rutherford, Napa Valley. A lengthy legal battle ensued and Peju persisted: this became the catalyst for Napa County to create the legal definition of what a winery is which was adopted in 1991. It is no wonder that Tony is called "The Father of Custom Crush ".
PEJU now has six vineyard estates located throughout the Napa Valley. The first 30-acre parcel in Rutherford was purchased in 1983. Today, the winery owns five properties totalling 558 acres, 232 of which are currently planted. Their 30 acre Rutherford Estate was certified organic in 2007 by the California Certified Organic Farmers (CCOF) and in 2019 they were certified Fish Friendly Farming at all of our vineyard properties. They currently practice sustainable farming at all of their vineyard properties with the goal of becoming organically certified within the next few years.
In 2022 as growers faced triple digit heat over five days in September quickly followed by rain that brought harvest to a sudden halt. Winemakers are calling the vintage “the tale of two harvests,” making it one of the more unique vintages in recent history. The typical gap between the white and red wine harvest was almost nonexistent. Winemakers describe 2022 white wines as having perfect acidity and freshness with remarkable flavors and textures.
This wine showcases a beautiful balance of fruit and floral notes. On the nose, aromas of stone fruit and lychee intermingle with a delicate honeysuckle fragrance, creating an enticing bouquet that invites you to take a sip. The palate is refined and elegant, with a round mouthfeel that is complemented by a pop of brightness. Flavors of peach, apricot, and nectarine are layered with hints of tropical fruit, providing a delightful complexity that lingers on the finish.
