Winemaker Notes
Osmosis Delightful Sauvignon Blanc is full flavor despite reduced alcohol and calories. How, you ask? OSMOSIS has multiple harvest dates that are blended together. The earliest harvest dates gives natural lower alcohol and bright acidity, the middle harvest gives the wine it’s citrus notes and the last harvest date gives the wine its tropical, candied pineapple notes. The result is a reduction in total alcohol and calories, delivering an 85 Calorie per 5 oz serving wine with Zero Sugar and Lower Alcohol. Even though it has decreased alcohol and calories, Osmosis keeps its full flavors.

The fruit was sourced from a family-owned, sustainably farmed estate situated at 3,440 feet above sea level in the foothills of the Andes. Boasting only 9% ABV and zero sugar, this is a clean, lighthearted, “better-for-you” wine with aromas of grapefruit and papaya. White pear, wet rock, and honeysuckle add character

Capable of a vast array of styles, Sauvignon Blanc is a crisp, refreshing variety that equally reflects both terroir and varietal character. Though it can vary depending on where it is grown, a couple of commonalities always exist—namely, zesty acidity and intense aromatics. This variety is of French provenance. Somm Secret—Along with Cabernet Franc, Sauvignon Blanc is a proud parent of Cabernet Sauvignon. That green bell pepper aroma that all three varieties share is no coincidence—it comes from a high concentration of pyrazines (herbaceous aromatic compounds) inherent to each member of the family.
By far the largest and best-known winemaking province in Argentina, Mendoza is responsible for over 70% of the country’s enological output. Set in the eastern foothills of the Andes Mountains, the climate is dry and continental, presenting relatively few challenges for viticulturists during the growing season. Mendoza, divided into several distinctive sub-regions, including Luján de Cuyo and the Uco Valley, is the source of some of the country’s finest wines.
For many wine lovers, Mendoza is practically synonymous with Malbec. Originally a Bordelaise variety brought to Argentina by the French in the mid-1800s, here it found success and renown that it never knew in its homeland where a finicky climate gives mixed results. Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Merlot and Pinot Noir are all widely planted here as well (and sometimes even blended with each other or Malbec). Mendoza's main white varieties include Chardonnay, Torrontés, Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon.
