“Once again, this ultra-rare nectar is one of America’s most elegant and refreshing collector-level Sauvignon Blanc; plus a tremendously food-friendly winner! The enchanting 2022 Asatsuyu is remarkably fragrant from the alluring bouquet (fresh jasmine and kiwi fruit). A dazzling array of thirst-quenching fruit such as Asian pear, Meyer lemon and white peach combine with gracefully aged hints of toasted oak. The zesty finish features notes of fresh ginger and lemongrass. This is an absolute pleasure to savor now and will be just as mouth-watering through 2028.” - California Wine Advisors (3/2023)
Winemaker Notes
“The 2022 Asatsuyu continues our tradition of presenting Sauvignon Blanc in a way unique to Kenzo Estate. Through our specialized production techniques, we honor and preserve the true varietal character of Sauvignon Blanc, with the aromatics as priority number one. We ferment a portion of the wine in stainless steel at very low temperatures to preserve freshness, which ensures that the first impression of the wine is of soaring floral and fruit aromatics. The other portion is fermented and aged in French oak barrels, allowing us to develop the mouthfeel and texture of the wine, contributing palate depth and richness. We are so thrilled with how the 2022 Asatsuyu turned out, and we can’t wait to share it with you. Enjoy!" - Marc Nanes
