SolSummit California Sauvignon Blanc (375ml)

SolSummit is the work of Emily Dabish Yahkind, an Ann Arbor entrepreneur who set out to put honest, minimal-intervention wine into a can. The label sources its fruit from a fourth-generation family vineyard in Clarksburg, tucked between the Mayacamas and Sierra Nevada foothills. Every SolSummit release, including this Sauvignon Blanc, is grown and bottled with the same partner vineyard for consistency vintage to vintage.

Clarksburg sits along the Sacramento River Delta, where cool air and snowmelt-fed water moderate the summer heat and stretch out the growing season. The Sauvignon Blanc grapes are certified sustainably farmed and picked with an eye toward preserving natural acidity. Fermentation and finishing follow a minimal-intervention approach with no added sulfites beyond what's needed for stability, and the wine goes into bottle and can unfiltered.

The wine pours pale straw and opens with citrus and green apple, backed by fresh-cut grass and a touch of gooseberry typical of the variety. Bright, mouthwatering acidity carries the finish, making it a refreshing counterpoint to richer fare. Try it with a green salad topped with goat cheese, grilled white fish, or a plate of fresh oysters.
