Pollak Vineyards Sauvignon Blanc 2022 Review
This bottle comes from Pollak Vineyards just outside of Charlottesville. Upon pressing the grapes they separate the lighter juice from the darker juice and ferment them individually, eventually bending them back together. This comes through in the wine’s balance between bright acidity and rich fruit. It has a nose of roasted green bell peppers and sweet citrus with a slight honeyed note. The palate is soft and racy with good fruit depth and active, balancing acidity.
