Quintessa Sauvignon Blanc Illumination 2015
Exudes bright fruit aromas of honeyed lemon, guava, and grapefruit. Fresh and bright on the palate, there is a luscious interplay of exotic Asian pear, papaya, lemongrass, lime and a hint of minerality. The finish is bright, creamy and refreshing!
Quintessa Winery
In 1989, Valeria and Agustin Huneeus found the property that would become Quintessa, a remarkable estate in the heart of the renowned Rutherford appellation of Napa Valley. With 280 acres, it was the last great undeveloped property in Napa Valley and had all the characteristics of a great wine estate: rolling hills, many different microclimates and a vast diversity of soil types.
