2024 Wölffer Estate ‘Summer in a Bottle’ Sauvignon Blanc – Long Island, New York, USA – 13% ABV

Wölffer’s Summer in a Bottle Sauvignon Blanc comes from Long Island, where intense sunshine is moderated by cooling Atlantic breezes, creating a long, relatively cool growing season that helps Sauvignon Blanc retain acidity and aromatic freshness. Wölffer specifically identifies the grape as exceptionally well suited to the region, and the wine is made under sustainable viticultural practices. The 2024 shows gooseberry, green apple, ripe kiwi, lime, and floral notes, with a vibrant, mineral-driven palate and the subtle saline character associated with Long Island’s maritime climate. Its combination of ripe fruit, focused acidity, and a long, mouthwatering finish makes this a distinctly coastal interpretation of Sauvignon Blanc rather than a tropical, high-alcohol California style.
