Francis Ford Coppola Winery, founded by the renowned filmmaker, has become one of California’s most recognised estates, known for producing high-quality wines that showcase the region’s diversity. The Diamond Collection is a signature range crafted to highlight vibrant fruit and balanced structure. This Sauvignon Blanc 2022 is a bright and refreshing expression, focusing on crisp acidity, zesty citrus, and a clean, mineral-driven finish.

Sourced from vineyards across California, the grapes benefit from the region’s warm days and cool nights, allowing for full ripening while preserving fresh aromatics. The well-draining sandy and loamy soils contribute to the wine’s purity and lively acidity. Fermented entirely in stainless steel, this Sauvignon Blanc retains its crisp, fruit-driven character, offering a clean and modern take on the varietal.

Appearance: Pale straw with brilliant clarity and subtle green reflections. The wine’s light, shimmering hue hints at its freshness and vibrancy, while the way it moves in the glass suggests a bright, zesty profile.

Aroma: Expressive and lively, with notes of lime zest, grapefruit, and passionfruit taking centre stage. Subtle hints of green apple, white peach, and fresh-cut grass add complexity, while a touch of wet stone minerality provides elegance. A delicate floral lift rounds out the aromatic profile, making it both refreshing and inviting.

Taste: Crisp and refreshing, with bright citrus flavours of lemon, lime, and pomelo leading the way. The mid-palate introduces tropical fruit notes of pineapple and guava, balanced by a subtle herbal character of lemongrass and a slight saline edge. The acidity is lively but well-integrated, keeping the wine energetic and food-friendly.

Finish: Clean and zesty, with lingering citrus and a refreshing mineral undertone. A touch of grapefruit pith and a whisper of white flowers leave a fresh, mouth-watering sensation, making it a perfect warm-weather wine.

Food Pairing: Fresh oysters with a squeeze of lime bring out the wine’s bright acidity and minerality, creating a refreshing pairing. Goat’s cheese and arugula salad enhances the wine’s citrus and herbal notes, with the creamy cheese balancing the crisp finish.
