Estival Sauvignon Blanc is a Sancerre-style Washington white from the Horse Heaven Hills, poured by the bottle at Grappa in Seattle’s Queen Anne neighborhood. Estival celebrates the aromatic white wines of Washington’s Columbia Valley. We pour it for its vivid citrus and tropical fruit framed by stony minerality — a crisp, food-loving white grown close to home.

About the Winery

Estival is a Washington State label dedicated to showcasing the quality of the region’s aromatic white wines. This Sauvignon Blanc is sourced from the Horse Heaven Hills, a sub-AVA of the Columbia Valley, and made in a fresh, layered style that nods to the Sancerre wines of France’s Loire Valley.

Region & Grape

The Horse Heaven Hills sits above the Columbia River in south-central Washington. Long sun exposure, cool nights and the river’s moderating influence allow slow ripening, which preserves acidity and builds flavor intensity in Sauvignon Blanc. Neutral-barrel fermentation and lees aging give the wine added texture and weight without overt oak.

Tasting Notes

The 2024 bursts with pineapple, lemongrass, grapefruit and passionfruit, then finishes on layers of minerality and lime zest. The neutral-barrel work lends a subtle, rounded texture, balancing the wine’s bright fruit with a sense of stony precision. It is crisp, vivid and refreshing.

What to Pair It With

Its zesty acidity is made for seafood and lighter plates. Enjoy it with our Spaghetti alle Vongole, the Fresh Oysters, or a Mediterranean Salad. See more on the full dine-in menu.
