Made with 100% Sauvignon Blanc fermented and matured in concrete egg, the 2021 Eggo Blanc de Cal has an expressive nose with varietal notes of herbs and citrus. It has moderate ripeness and alcohol (12%) and a vibrant palate with an almost effervescent sensation than tingles your tastebuds, chalky and citrus sensations and a tasty, varietal finish. This comes from a 15-year-old plot on limestone-rich soils at 1,350 meters in altitude. 3,900 bottles were filled after one year in egg. It was bottled in February 2022. This is superb.
The green skinned grapes of the Sauvignon Blanc varietal had their origins in Southern France, where they are still widely grown and used for many of the excellent young and aged white wines the region is famous for. Today, however, they are grown in almost every wine producing country in the world, and are widely revered for their fresh and grassy flavors, full of tropical notes and refreshing, zesty character. Sauvignon Blanc grapes thrive best in moderate climates, and ripen relatively early in the year. This has made them a favorite for many wineries in the New World, where they can still produce healthy and high yields in the earlier part of the summer before the temperatures become too hot. Too much heat has a massively adverse effect on Sauvignon Blanc, as the grapes become dull in their flavor, and the wine produced from them loses all its unique character and high points. As such, Sauvignon Blanc farmers have had a lot of trouble from global warming and climate change, as they are being forced to harvest their crops increasingly earlier in the year when it is cool enough to do so.

The 2021 Sauvignon Blanc Eggo Blanc de Cal hails from Gualtallary in the Uco Valley. It was fermented with 50% skin contact. Yellow in the glass. The aromatic profile is dominated by citrus notes, especially grapefruit and lime, along with fennel and dill. The palate it's lean and dry with a tart, frisky, chalky texture that delivers lingering herbal flavors. Will continue to evolve in the bottle.

Always a fun white with aromas of grapefruit, baked apples, dried herbs, nuts and cement. Medium-bodied, rounded and textured. Almost chalky at the end. Fermented and aged in concrete eggs. Drink now.
