Description
Our inspiration was a racier, more "Sancerre-like" style to fully express our biodynamic farming and unique terroir. Our Sauvignon Blanc grapes are grown on richer, loamier soils for better canopy protection and distinct varietal aromas and flavors. We use a full range of clones to create a wine of greater complexity. These include our 40 year + old vine block which is planted with an heirloom clone, an Entav 378 Sauvignon Blanc clone (adds minerality & lemon zest) and two blocks Musqué clone which adds distinctive aromatic herbal and tropical fruit notes. To round out the blend we add a touch of Sauvignon Gris to enhance citrus aromatics.
Wine Makers Notes
To preserve its vibrant fruit flavors 2018 Cuveé Acero Sauvignon Blanc was stainless-steel fermented at cool temperatures with a select yeast strain to enhance sauvignon blanc aromatics. Post fermentation, the wine spent four months in neutral oak barrels with light lees contact to improve mouth feel.
Tasting Notes
In the glass the wine has pale colors of light greenish-gold. The nose is extremely aromatic and has a mélange of fruit and herbal notes – papaya, sweet lime, and pear with a hint of lemon verbena. In the mouth, abundant fruit flavors of honeydew melon, yuzu and pineapple and are balanced by a long and pleasingly dry, flinty finish.
Food Paring
This sauvignon blanc can be enjoyed as an aperitif and pairs beautifully with goat cheese, salads, chicken, fish and vegetarian dishes.

We distribute our wines throughout the US and are seeking relationships with wholesale distributor, retail and restaurant chain buyers that are looking for quality wines from our region that are environmentally responsible. Our clientele includes independent grocery chains, wine bars and restaurants, and grocery delivery companies. We have the option of creating a buyers-own brand for Sauvignon Blanc and Cabernet Sauvignon.
Great wines are not just produced, rather they are carefully cultivated. At Eco Terreno our wine growing experience along with a healthy respect for the land help us cultivate grapes that are of the utmost expressions of the vineyard. In 1980, after an extensive search, Founder and Winemaker Mark Lyon found a 122-acre (93 acres planted to vines) vineyard in Alexander Valley near Cloverdale. Today the Lyon and Cisne Vineyards, both 100% Demeter and CCOF Organic Certified, are under the care of Daphne Amory, an expert in biodynamic viticulture.
