Florèz Wines, Sauvignon Blanc "Trayzure" Enz Vineyard, Lime Kiln Valley, California 2021
Florèz's "Trayzure" expresses aromas of freshly squeezed lemons and grapefruit, with a rich and creamy palate of lemon curd and tart peaches.
The grapes for this wine come from Enz Vineyard, in Lime Kiln Valley. Enz is located in the heart of the Cienega Valley AVA which is known for its concentrated limestone soils.
The grapes are direct pressed once brought into the cellar, and ferment in a neutral French barrel where the wine rests for 10 months on the lees until being racked and bottled. Unfined and unfiltered.
Florèz Wines was started by James Jelks in 2017. James grew up in the Santa Cruz area and was schooled in winemaking at nearby UC Davis. He worked in wineries all over the world for 10 years before returning home to make wine in the Santa Cruz area. He is farming some vineyards himself, always dry-farmed, and is also sourcing some fruit from organic and sustainable vineyards. He always works with native yeasts, does not use additives except for a minimal amount of sulfur at bottling, and does not filter the wines. The labels are Japanese-style woodcuts by James’s friend & tattoo artist Drew Nelson.
