2021 Pearl Sauvignon Blanc
This may be our favorite vintage of Pearl ever. All the pieces just came together beautifully. Bright zesty fruit flavors, richness and texture, and wonderful balance. Our 2021 Pearl Sauvignon Blanc leads with a nose of grapefruit, lemongrass, lime, pear, passion fruit, fresh herbs and minerals, followed by wet stone. From the stupendous 2021 vintage, a bright light in our vinous universe.
Food Pairing: Anything from the ocean, but oysters for sure. Shigokus and kushis are the best.
Movie Pairing: The Wizard of Oz
FOUNDERS’ NOTES:
Pearl was Kelly's first solo wine project, spawned in 2009 from her love of New Zealand Sauvignon Blancs. Pearl was named in honor of Kelly's great grandmother who drove around in a pearl Cadillac convertible and drank Tennessee whiskey. The style is both mineral and fruit driven, like if Sancerre and New Zealand made a Sauvignon Blanc baby.
