Proud Pour Sauvignon Blanc
SAUVIGNON BLANC
Impact: Every bottle of this crisp, organic Sauvignon Blanc supports the restoration of wild oysters to our estuary ecosystems.
Total: 14 million wild oysters restored to date.
Did you know we've lost more than 90% of our wild oyster reefs in North America? This refreshing Sauvignon Blanc was made with organic grapes in Southern France to celebrate the critical role these hardworking filter-feeders play in our oceans.
When we think of oysters, most of us think of farmed oysters, which is what we see at raw bars. Farmed oysters are almost always sustainably raised, and those farms can actually improve the water quality around them, so eating oysters is good for the planet. (Don't hesitate to support your local oyster farmer and enjoy these very healthy bivalves..or even triple your consumption!)
In the wild, oysters are a little different. Wild oysters attach to each other when they're quite young and can build large structures of reefs or beds, which serve as habitat for fish, crab, shrimp, and thousands of other species. Those oyster reefs also help prevent the erosion of our coastline and clean the water around them, in particular by pulling out excess nutrients like nitrogen. A single oyster can filter 30 gallons of water per day.
You raw bar lovers will like this last part. Our environmental partners recycle used shell from raw bars and plant baby oysters on them, which they then put back in the water to rebuild the wild reefs! This is the wonderful work you're supporting when you open our Sauvignon Blanc.
Pair the wine with a sunset or with your favorite local oysters, clams, mussels, sea scallops, or periwinkles!
