Our flagship Sauvignon Blanc returns for its 48th harvest, showcasing the vibrant, fruit-forward style that helped establish Brander Vineyard as a pioneer of Sauvignon Blanc in Santa Barbara County. This bottling is a textbook example of our signature style: bright acidity, expressive aromatics, and clean precision from first sip to finish.

On the nose, it opens with refreshing hints of passionfruit, melon, and peach. The palate bursts with citrus and tropical character—think honeysuckle, jasmine, kiwi, lemon meringue pie, orange zest, nectarine, grapefruit, and guava.

Fermented primarily in stainless steel with a touch of neutral French oak (5%), the wine retains brilliant freshness while gaining just enough roundness to balance the lively acidity. Malolactic fermentation was prevented, preserving its crisp, linear structure.

A true expression of place and craft, this release captures everything we love about Sauvignon Blanc—and everything Brander stands for.
