Tasting note

Olema's exact 2024 technical sheet presents this Sauvignon Blanc as a wine of precision and energy. It begins with spearmint, wintergreen, lemon zest, and delicate white-floral aromas, including jasmine and gooseberry. The palate is described as crisp and linear, moving through white-peach skin, bright citrus, and a touch of grapefruit. Vibrant acidity and wet-stone minerality provide the structural thread. The winery describes a refreshing, clean finish.

The 2024 vintage

Olema's 2024 technical sheet says the Loire Valley vintage followed a mild winter with a warm, relatively dry spring. The source says those spring conditions encouraged early bud break. It then describes a summer with consistent warmth rather than excessive heat spikes, allowing gradual ripening while preserving acidity. The winery characterizes the resulting 2024 Sauvignon Blanc as vibrant and expressive, with aromatic, citrus, herbal, and fresh-acid character. These season details apply to Olema's stated 2024 wine only. No additional weather event, harvest date, or regional quality claim is used here.

About Olema Wines

The cited Olema document is an exact-vintage technical sheet, not a general producer history. The sheet itself gives the publisher contact address in Calistoga and the Olema website, but it does not support broader claims about ownership, personnel, estate holdings, farming, or a house style across other wines.

From the cellar: pair with

Goat cheese tart with lemon and herbs

The pairing is an editorial suggestion grounded in the sheet's citrus, white-floral, herbal, vibrant-acid, and wet-stone character.

Seared scallops with grapefruit and fennel

The suggestion follows the source-described grapefruit, white-peach, mineral, and crisp linear palate, not a winery food-pairing claim.

Grilled asparagus with a soft-poached egg

The source's spearmint, wintergreen, citrus, bright acidity, and clean finish provide the structural rationale for this editorial match.
