Trione Description

Three generations farming premium wine grapes across five estate ranches for over four
decades, the Trione family produce small lot, hand-crafted wines showcasing the best
fruit from our vineyards.
Winemaker Tasting Notes: This Sauvignon Blanc displays bright aromas of
Honeycrisp apple, lime, and orange blossom. The crisp, fruit driven palate explodes with
layers of pineapple, passion fruit and peach, then finishing with a savory wet stone
minerality.
Vineyard: The River Road Ranch vineyard is located within the Russian River Valley
AVA. The soil composition is Cortina, characterized as deep, well-draining soil composed
mainly of gravel/sandy loam. This fast-draining soil leads to stressed vines that focus
their energy on the grapes rather than leafy growth, resulting in more intensity and
concentration. Certified Sustainable in 2017 (CCSW)

Vintage: After a very wet winter, the 2023 growing season was slow to start. Spring was
cool and cloudy leading to a delayed and drawn-out bloom in Russian River Valley. Once
the vines had set their fruit, the rest of the season continued at a slow and steady pace.
Patience was key as most vineyard blocks were three to four weeks behind their typical
pick dates. The wait was well worth it as the resulting wines all showcase their natural
acidity in perfect balance with fresh fruit flavors and aromas. Seasons like 2023 without
large weather fluctuations lend themselves to truly elegant wines.
Winemaking: All of our Sauvignon Blanc grapes were harvested at night between
September 28th and October 5th. Picking at night allows the juice to remain cold and helps
preserve the delicate flavors and aromas of the grapes. The juice was clarified after being
pressed and before adding yeast to help extract flavors of guava, passionfruit and
grapefruit. Fermentation took place in stainless steel tanks where the wine remained on
the lees until bottling in February of 2024.
