The nose starts on lime-bergamot citrus zest, and gooseberries aromas evolving rapidly into delicate oyster shell and mineral notes! It transports you directly to the seaside! The vibrant mouthfeel starts with a bracing acidity that develops into a dense and rich mid palate to finish on a long and persistent minerality. Mouthwatering!" ENA's philosophy:ENA approach is to translate unique vineyards into vibrant, elegant and complex wines. ENA wines are made to share a passion, to make you travel in a unique place and time and mostly to be enjoyed. Our winemaking is an assertive approach towards nature rather than obstructive. There is no trick, no makeup. With minimal intervention, we ferment with native yeasts and carefully select our barrels to respect the fruits.Story/Vineyards:In 2019, Eglantine got enchanted by the purity and the energy of Mariah Vineyards; a magical and magnificent mountaintop island, resting above the fog line, about 5 miles and 2,600 feet above the Pacific Ocean, in Northern California. She grabbed the opportunity to work with exceptional Pinot Noir grapes from Mariah Vineyards and started ENA wines!Mariah Vineyards, under Mendocino Ridge sub-AVA, one of the most exclusive cool climate AVAs, is conducted following regenerative and organic methods and is completely dry farmed.

About the Wine

From the Mariah Vineyard on Mendocino Ridge, ENA's Sauvignon Blanc opens on lime and gooseberry before turning to oyster-shell and mineral notes that carry you to the seaside. A bracing acidity builds into a dense mid-palate and a long, mouth-watering finish.
