Matanzas Creek is located in the remote, but breathtakingly beautiful Bennett Valley region of Sonoma County. Since its launch in 1977, the winery has built its reputation on Sauvignon Blanc and Merlot – two varieties that thrive in Sonoma’s temperate climate. Matanzas Creek also produces limited quantities of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Bordeaux-style reds. All of the winery’s fruit comes from sustainably-farmed, estate vineyards scattered throughout the mild interior and cool coastal AVAs of the county. In addition to its wines, Matanzas Creek is also famous for their spectacular lavender gardens. Matanzas Creek Sonoma County Sauvignon Blanc is derived from nine different vineyards whose fruit has been individually harvested, fermented, and evaluated to create a shining example of what Sonoma County has to offer.
750 mlThe 2022 vintage marked another hallmark growing season in Sonoma County. Harvest was slightly earlier than previous vintages, and bud break was particularly favorable for Sauvignon Blanc. During May, our Knights Valley vineyard experienced frost damage, however, causing yields to be slightly lower than usual. As a result, our warmer estate vineyards in Alexander Valley and Dry Creek Valley played a larger role in the final blend, providing balanced fruit with concentrated flavors of stone fruit, guava, and nectarine. Fruit from our cooler sites enhanced the wine with floral aromas, vibrant acidity, and a crisp, refreshing finish
