PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The 2023 Sybarite is a bright, vibrant Sauvignon Blanc that captures the expressive character of Happy Canyon terroir. It’s lively without being thin, balancing vivid citrus and stone fruit, herbal nuance, a bit of texture, and a mineral tension. It’s a wine that works beautifully as an aperitif, pairs well with food, and rewards attentive sipping.
Producer / Region: Made by Margerum Wine Company, based in Santa Barbara County, California.
AVA / Terroir: Sourced from Happy Canyon of Santa Barbara, a warmer, more structured micro-appellation with rocky soils.
Vintage: 2023.
Alcohol / Style: The 2023 bottling is modest in alcohol—about 12.5%—helping preserve freshness and lift.
Winemaking: While not all details are public, reviews and retailer descriptions highlight “pure, clean Sauvignon fruit” with a lighter body and restrained oak—or minimal oak—usage.
| Element | Notes |
|---|---|
| Colour / Appearance | Light straw, with subtle green tints and excellent clarity. |
| Nose / Aroma | Explosive aromatics: lime pith, zesty citrus peel, delicate peach, melon, a hint of fresh cut grass or herbal lift. |
| Palate / Taste | Bright and energetic: citrus (lime, grapefruit), green melon, a dry herbal character, lean minerality, and tension rather than lushness. Texture is a bit “grippy,” giving the wine body and grip rather than being silky. |
| Finish | Clean and persistent: citrus echo, mineral edge (gravel / slate), with herb and white flower hints lingering. |
Serve: Chilled (say, 8–10 °C) in a medium white wine glass to let aromatics express.
Cocktail Use / Blends: It can be a white wine component in lighter blends or wine-based mixed drinks, though its character is best appreciated on its own.
Food Pairings:
• Fresh seafood (ceviche, oysters, white fish with citrus)
• Light poultry or pork with herb / citrus sauces
• Fresh goat cheese, chèvre, or unaged cheeses
• Salads with citrus vinaigrettes and fresh herbs
• Asian dishes with citrus, ginger, or herbal accents
• Simple fruit desserts — citrus, melon, peach — especially those not overly sweet
