The newest varietal brings authentic, crisp flavors from New Zealand to American wine lovers
LAKE BLUFF, IL., March 4, 2023 – The Federalist is launching its first-ever 100% Sauvignon Blanc varietal, expanding its portfolio to give Americans a new, authentic offering to enjoy throughout the seasons. Known as America’s Craft Wine, The Federalist is thrilled to be bringing a bold expression from New Zealand directly to American occasions – fostering more shared moments amongst Americans looking to expand their palates and travel through their taste buds.
The Federalist Sauvignon Blanc is made with 100% Sauvignon Blanc grapes from New Zealand, and features bright, bold aromas of melon and grapefruit. Fermentation occurs in stainless steel tanks at cooler temperatures to help retain the aromatics and flavor of this wine and ensure there’s a touch of minerality balanced with acidity left, giving the wine a long, clean finish.
The new Sauvignon Blanc will be available beginning in Spring 2024 at local retailers nationwide and online for a retail price of $20.00. The Federalist also released its latest red varietal – a Pinot Noir, in Fall 2023.
