The Sauvignon Blanc is sourced from our estate vineyard in Los Olivos as well as a number of other carefully farmed vineyards with the Los Olivos AVA. This is over 50% of Brander's entire production and most popular wine. We are also celebrating our 44th year of harvest with this vintage. A remarkable value, this vintage is brimming with bright refreshing notes of grapefruit and nectarine.
