The Peter Michael L`Après Midi Sauvignon Blanc 2013 hails from the Knights Valley AVA in Sonoma County, California. This wine features a blend dominated by Sauvignon Blanc, typically around 92%, with Sémillon making up the remainder. The 2013 vintage benefitted from ideal growing conditions, marked by a warm, dry spring. The winemaking process involves 100% barrel fermentation with native yeasts and eight months of sur lie aging in French oak. This careful technique, combined with blocked malolactic fermentation, results in a wine with distinct notes of citrus, stone fruit and a mineral edge, showcasing the producer`s commitment to quality and craftsmanship.
