Aveta
The wine
Named for a water goddess often depicted carrying fruit, this wine expresses vibrant fruit flavors and minerality.
Vinification
AVETA is crafted from fruit grown in the alluvial soils of our estate vineyards in Oak Knoll, as well as other exceptional Napa Valley sites. While Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars began making Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc in the early 1980s, 2013 was the first vintage to carry the name “AVETA.”
Winemaking
AVETA is named for a water goddess often depicted carrying fruit. It is a fitting moniker to express the vibrant fruit flavors and minerality of our Sauvignon Blanc. In addition to Sauvignon Blanc, Sauvignon Musque (a clonal variant of Sauvignon Blanc) and Semillon are used to provide depth and complexity to the wine. The wine is fermented at cool temperatures in a mix of stainless steel and neutral French oak barrels, providing roundness to the wine’s texture.
Historical Data
Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars is deeply rooted in Napa Valley’s wine legends. The winery added to Napa Valley’s legends with its 1973 S.L.V. Cabernet Sauvignon which French wine experts ranked highest among the best wines of France during a blind tasting in Paris – now referred to as the “The Judgment of Paris, which brought international recognition to Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars and Napa Valley. Today, Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars is recognized for its portfolio of estate-grown Cabernet Sauvignons – S.L.V., FAY, and CASK 23 – which are among the most highly regarded and sought-after Cabernets in the world.
