2023 Francis Ford Coppola Sauvignon Blanc Diamond collection

The Sauvignon Blanc provides this special wine, with a seductive open scent, melon, lemon peel, a hint of green figs, passion fruit. Deliciously open and fresh in the taste, peach, figs, grapefruit, delicious white fruit, pear, lots of power, nice juice, intense and well balanced, mild aftertaste. The ideal serving temperature is 8-10°C.
Surprisingly, the fruit of the Sauvignon Blanc from the Diamond Series comes partly from Napa Valley, a fairly warm wine region. But Sauvignon from this region can be particularly good, if it is harvested in time. In addition, the grapes come from two other regions. Sauvignon from Alexander Valley adds power and intensity, combined with a nice citrus character. Grapes from Mendocino provide richness and aromatic power. An ideal combination. It is a Sauvignon in a beautiful powerful style, with delicious exotic fruit. Due to the ripe character of the grapes, the grassy character that so easily dominates many Sauvignons is missing. Low temperature fermentation, exclusively in stainless steel, further contributes to the fruit character of the wine, which has a lot of freshness in the taste, with a deliciously dry and aromatic character.

Francis Ford Coppola (Detroit, April 7, 1939) is an American director, film producer and screenwriter known for The Godfather trilogy and Apocalypse Now and is considered one of the most important directors in Hollywood. In addition, Francis Ford Coppola has been active in wine growing and trading since the 1970s. In 1975, together with his wife, he bought the estate of the Finnish sea captain Gustave Niebaum in Rutherford, California (located in the famous wine region of Napa Valley) and the surrounding vineyards. That winery is now called the Rubicon Estate Winery. Coppola is also the owner of the Francis Ford Coppola Winery in the Sonoma Valley.

Winemaking has been a long-standing tradition in the Coppola family. Francis Ford Coppola has been making wine even longer than he has been directing films. Grandfather Coppola used to make wine in the cellars of their New York apartment from grapes that had been specially imported from California. The wines that Coppola makes today are no longer the same as those from the cellars in New York, but they are made with the same philosophy. Wines to drink with friends and family.

The parent company of Francis Ford Coppola Winery was named USA Wine Producer of the Year by the International Wine & Spirit Competition on November 16, 2011.
