Oak Hill Sauvignon Gris Sauvignon Gris is the cousin of Sauvignon Blanc: full-bodied and aromatic with a rich mouthfeel. The two sauvignons are clonal variations of each other, differing in texture and aromatics. Bronze in color, the Sauvignon Gris grapes look quite different, and taste more of spice and peaches than lemon and herbs. Sauvignon Gris is not widely planted in California. We are proud to promote this unique grape. The grapes comes from our Oak Hill and Chalk Hill estate vineyards.
