Tasting Note

Bursting with generous ripe fruit and orange blossom aromatics, our Alexander Valley Sauvignon Blanc offers juicy flavors of kiwifruit, yellow peach, and passionfruit wrapped in bright refreshing acidity. A full and soft midpalate and notes of vanilla panna cotta are the outcomes of aging sur lie in 400 liter French oak barrels. The wine finishes with subtle sweet almond and mineral complexity. Try this with smoked salmon, chicken picatta, or a lemon mascarpone pasta dish.

Product Notes

Rodney Strong Vineyards' Alexander Valley Sauvignon Blanc is an exquisite blend boasting vibrant, crystalline hues. Exhaling an intoxicating aroma of lush tropical fruits mingled with subtle citrus nuances, this wine instantly captivates your senses. A symphony of lively, tangy flavours like guava, citrus and fresh herbs dance on the palate, with a refreshing acidity bringing balance and elegance. Ageing in stainless steel preserves the wine's freshness, making it remarkably crisp and invigorating. Perfect for summer picnics, pairing remarkably well with seafood or simply relishing it on its own. A veritable connoisseur's delight from California's acclaimed Alexander Valley.

About the Winery

Rodney Strong Vineyards

Established in 1959, Rodney Strong Vineyards has stood the test of time, earning a sterling reputation as one of California's premier wineries. Situated in the heart of Sonoma County, this highly regarded winery first bloomed under the vision of ballet dancer-turned-winemaker, Rodney Strong.

Strong's passionate pursuit of excellence in viticulture and vinification set the standard for the vineyard's present approach to winemaking. Rodney’s practice was rooted in the belief that the best wines begin in the vineyard, a principle that still guides the vineyard’s techniques today.

The Rodney Strong Vineyards comprise over 14 estate vineyards, gravitating to the areas of Alexander Valley, Russian River Valley and Chalk Hill. Each of these regions is famed for its particular climate and conditions, making them suitable for the cultivation of specific grape varieties.

Focusing on a range of luscious reds like Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Pinot Noir, as well as a selection of elegantly complex whites such as Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc. The vineyard’s devotion to producing high-quality, sustainably farmed wines has earned them numerous awards and international acclaim. Rodney Strong's philosophy is manifest in every bottle with each vintage embodying the unique character of the estate’s vineyards, producing a harmony of flavours that is simply unforgettable.

Rodney’s legacy also carries forward in the vineyard's commitment to environmental stewardiness. In 2003, the winery was the first in Sonoma County to utilise solar power and it continues to emphasise wind power, water treatment and waste management as critical elements of their operations. To that end, they became the first carbon-neutral winery in Sonoma County in 2009.

Visitors to Rodney Strong Vineyards are treated to an immersive wine-tasting experience. Whether it's sampling wines in the elegant tasting room, touring the barrel ageing rooms, or marvelling at the panoramic views offered from the scenic overlook, guests are ensured an experience as enriching as it is delightful.

In summary, Rodney Strong Vineyards is the embodiment of Rodney’s commitment to crafting distinct, exceptional wines that reflect the character and richness of Sonoma County.
