Committed to exploring the diversity of Santa Ynez Valley's two distinctly different microclimates, the Gainey family was the first to own properties in both the cool, western end of the valley, Sta. Rita Hills, where the focus is on Burgundian varieties, and the warm, eastern end of the Santa Ynez Valley, where the grapes for this wine were grown. Gainey Vineyard is committed to farming in a safe and sustainable way - a way that protects our employees, benefits the environment and produces fine wines.

Our Home Ranch vineyard consists of a diverse planting of Sauvignon Blanc vines ranging in age from 5 to 20 years old, encompassing several locations with distinct soil and micro-climate differences. This vineyard diversity brings out unique characteristics from this warm site. Our winemaking combination of barrel fermentation, in neutral barrels, and stainless steel fermentation captures these site flavors and attributes. These elements are both mouth-watering and clean. With riper fruit aromas and flavors of pink grapefruit, honeydew melon, mineral, spice and lime to round out the finish. Beautifully structured, with perfectly balanced acidity and a refreshing mineral tone, this delicious Sauvignon Blanc is an ideal aperitif wine, as well as a delightful accompaniment to a wide range of seafood, poultry, salad and vegetarian dishes. It will age beautifully in bottle for another 2-3 years.
