Allium Wines captures mountain vineyard character with a focus on low-intervention winemaking. 'Katie’s Block' Sauvignon Blanc comes from a high-elevation site perched at 1,560 feet above Lake Sonoma—one of the highest vineyards in the region, surrounded by Douglas fir and Madrone forests. This fruit-forward, vibrant wine exemplifies Allium’s commitment to expressive terroir, sustainable viticulture, and authentic mountain freshness.
-
WINEMAKER: Matt Iaconis, under the Allium Wines ethos of minimal manipulation and pure fruit expression
-
FARMING: Sustainable and organic-minded vineyard management in a high-altitude, cool-climate location to preserve natural acidity and varietal clarity
-
VARIETY: 100% Sauvignon Blanc
-
TERROIR: Grown at 1,560 feet in Sonoma’s coastal mountains, the vineyard benefits from rocky soils and consistent cool breezes that moderate ripening and enhance aromatic lift
-
VINIFICATION: Low-intervention approach—typically involving gentle whole-cluster pressing, native yeast fermentation, and restraint in both oak and lees management to preserve freshness and the vineyard’s signature mineral core
-
AGING: Stainless-steel aging maintains vibrancy and transparent fruit expression
-
TASTING NOTES: Bright, zesty aromas of grapefruit zest, lemongrass, and mountain herbs. The palate is energetic with crisp acidity, flinty minerality, and citrus-driven finish.
-
FOOD PAIRINGS: Ideal alongside oysters, goat cheese, light ceviche, or fresh vegetable salads—perfect for mellow outdoor meals or lively gatherings
