Brander Vineyards Sauvignon Blanc Au Naturel (93WE)
“Cut grass, dark green herbs and yellow apple aromas show on the nose of this bottling. It’s very lean on the palate with a zippy, energetic acidity that cuts right through the cement, crushed stone and serrano flavors, engaging the palate on all sides.” – Matt Kettman, 12/1/2022

Au Naturel is made from the finest lots of Brander's estate vineyards, carefully selected each year by the winemaking team. Attentive and diligent winemaking further define the character of the wine, with only free run juice used and careful lees aging building the rich yet delicate structure of the wine. The wine shows a concentrated and luscious profile, bristling with bright tropical fruit and tempered by a stony backbone.

The flagship of the winery, the Sauvignon Blanc, proved to be an immediate success and is regarded as a reference for high quality California Sauvignon Blanc today. Working with the estate fruit and trusted neighbors, Brander additionally produces Cabernet Sauvignon and site selective Sauvignon Blanc.
