Mason Cellars Pomelo Sauvignon Blanc Lake County 2014
The name Pomelo comes from the giant citrus fruit native to Malaysia and thought to be ancestor to the grapefruit. Our Pomelo Sauvignon Blanc reminds us of the coral-pink tangy juice from a pomelo. Pomelo is a new and unique Sauvignon Blanc made with l00% Sauvignon Blanc grapes solely from Lake County, California. Pomelo wines are crafted by winemaker Randy Mason of Mason Cellars out of Yountville, California. The wine offers subtle hints of grapefruit and floral nuances in the nose and mouth along with honeysuckle and vanilla. Made with 5% barrel fermentation, 95% cold tank fermented.
Vineyard Notes:
Primarily sourced from Lake County, Pomelo’s characteristic grapefruit profile is consistently found in our blocks situated on the Kelseyville bench. With an elevation of nearly 1300’, the growing season is long, with ample hours of sunshine and great diurnal temperature fluctuations - all responsible for the explosive flavors found in Pomelo. We also source a small percentage from an old, established block in Lodi - amazing balance and texture, the Sauvignon Blanc sourced from this region is grapefruit pith with a weightiness contributing to the mid-palette.
Winemaking Notes:
100% Sauvignon Blanc. Fermented in all stainless steel tanks; extremely long and cold ferment allows for the fragrant and big fruit flavors to be appreciated. The crisp acidity is retained and then rounded out and complimented by a broadened mouth and ever-slight sweetness.
Tasting Notes:
