When Saucelito Canyon Vineyard created a new proprietary blend called Sauvage, they enlisted Mooncatcher to tell the wine’s story, beginning with the back label. Sauvage means “wild” in French, and we artfully integrated that theme throughout:
Sauvage is a proprietary blend that celebrates the untamed terrain and natural flavors of our sustainably farmed estate vineyard in the upper Arroyo Grande Valley. Here, for more than 30 years, we have grown a selection of classic Bordelais varietals in a narrow sandy block that yields sparse, richly flavored clusters. This block is popular with the native wildlife, and deer, foxes, coyotes and even bears are routinely seen roaming around the vines. The grapes from this corner of the vineyard combine to create a smooth, supple blend with depth and complexity. While this wine will reward cellaring, those who like to walk on the wild side are encouraged to enjoy it in its youth.
