Quick Facts: Origin: California, USA  |  Varietal: Sauvignon Blanc  |  Size: 750ML  |  Style: Still White Wine

Production & Heritage

Bear Bros. sources its Sauvignon Blanc grapes from California vineyards, where long growing seasons and abundant sunshine encourage ripe, expressive fruit development. California Sauvignon Blanc tends to lean toward a rounder, more fruit-driven profile compared to the herbaceous, mineral-driven styles associated with the Loire Valley or Marlborough. The wine is typically cold-fermented in stainless steel to preserve freshness and aromatic intensity, a standard approach for clean, crisp white wine production in the region.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Expect an opening burst of citrus — grapefruit zest and lemon peel — followed by lighter tropical notes such as passionfruit and white nectarine. A faint herbal quality, reminiscent of fresh-cut grass, may linger underneath.

Taste: The palate enters with bright acidity and ripe citrus tones before moving into softer melon and tropical fruit at mid-palate. A gentle mineral undertone balances the fruit, keeping the wine from veering too sweet. The overall impression is clean and medium-bodied, consistent with California's warm-climate Sauvignon Blanc style.

Finish: The finish is moderate in length, leaving behind crisp citrus and a slight herbal edge. Refreshing and dry, it resolves cleanly without excessive bitterness.

How to Drink Bear Bros.

Serve well chilled, between 45–50°F, to keep the acidity lively and the fruit fresh. This wine is at its best consumed young rather than cellared.

• Classic Spritzer: Bear Bros.' bright acidity and citrus character hold up well when combined with sparkling water and a lemon twist for a low-ABV afternoon drink.
• White Wine Sangria: The tropical fruit profile provides an ideal base for sangria with sliced peaches, citrus, and a splash of elderflower liqueur.
• Hugo Cocktail: Its clean, herbaceous edge complements fresh mint and elderflower syrup over crushed ice with a top of prosecco.

Best For

• Casual weeknight dinners with grilled chicken or fish tacos
