Fotsch – Sauvignon Blanc – 2022
Mendocino County, California, USA 🇺🇸
Overview
A crisp, small-lot Sauvignon Blanc from Mendocino County, crafted in a lean, mineral-driven style. This boutique release from Fotsch shows the purity and tension of cool-climate fruit, balancing intensity with finesse.
Aromas & Flavors
Vivid aromatics of lime zest, gooseberry, and green apple, layered with fresh-cut grass and subtle hints of grapefruit peel. On the palate, it’s clean and zippy, with notes of lemon pith, passionfruit, and a whisper of wet stone.
Mouthfeel
Light-bodied yet energetic, showing steely precision and refreshing acidity. The finish is brisk, citrusy, and mouthwatering, a true palate cleanser.
Food Pairings
Perfect with oysters, goat cheese crostini, grilled asparagus, or ceviche. Also a fine match for a citrus herb chicken salad or sushi rolls.
Verdict
A lively, steely Sauvignon Blanc that captures Mendocino’s coastal freshness. Grassy, punchy, and full of verve, it’s sunshine bottled with a cool breeze.

Mendocino County’s diurnal shift, warm days followed by chilly nights, helps Sauvignon Blanc retain its crisp acidity while developing layers of tropical and herbal character.
🍷 Personal Pick Highlight
Grassy and zesty in all the right ways, a small-batch gem that punches above its weight. One sip, and you’re instantly refreshed.
