Product Description

Overview

Winery: Buty Winery

Buty Semillon Sauvignon 2011 is made from 60% Sémillon, 19% Sauvignon, 21% Muscadelle
We develop this classic white blend to showcase the unique strengths of Washington’s sémillon. In this wine you will find all the experience of our twenty-two vintages from Washington, New Zealand and South Africa. Select vineyards in our inland desert with favored microclimates and great history are closely managed for our style. Unlike cool climate vineyards, we keep our fruits fully shaded from the summer sun. The goal of the wine style is freshness with natural acidity balanced by richness with silky texture. Sémillon and sauvignon naturally marry and build complexity with muscadelle’s perfume. Planted by the Dobson family on the warm Wahluke Slope, the 1982 Rosebud Ranch Vineyard sémillon grows in sandy soils. Planted in 1997 our Spring Creek Vineyard sauvignon grows in sandy-loam soils in the eastern Yakima Valley near Lonesome Springs Ranch’s new muscadelle vines.

This dry wine is the best of all worlds with a flowery nose, creamy texture and a crisp palate. It is our Washington interpretation of the classic Bordeaux white wine in three part harmony. Full of apricot, grapefruit, lemon, lanolin and honey, it is complete. It is made and aged in concrete tank and mature Burgundy oak barrels.

The Buty Winery Estate

Pronounced "Beauty", Buty winery was founded in 2000 by owners Caleb Foster and Nina Buty, inspired by a decade of vintages from Washington and overseas. An artisan producer, Buty creates vineyard designated chardonnay, a crisp white blend and nuanced red blends—including Rediviva, Washington’s pioneering blend of syrah and cabernet sauvignon. The Rediviva of the Stones will be grown from the 2008 plantings at Rockgarden, their organic Estate vineyard in the cobblestones of Walla Walla.

Since the spring of 2001 they have worked with Californian consultant Zelma Long. Zelma’s multiple decades of worldwide winegrowing and winemaking offer a great breadth of wine and vine knowledge and a “whole business” perspective to Buty.

The philosophy of winegrowing and winemaking at Buty is one of balance, artisanship and enjoyment, as we aim to capture the essence of the grape in bottle.

The Buty Winery Vineyard

Caleb and Nina purchased 10 acres of apple orchard in Milton-Freewater in late 2006. In 2008, they organically prepared and planted Buty’s Estate, Rockgarden. The famous cobblestones section of the Walla Walla Valley appellation is located in the southeast part of the valley. In the 5% highest elevation of the cobblestones, this Grand Cru section has been the most prized farming section since the Walla Walla Valley was settled over one hundred years ago. Grand Cru is defined and set apart from its neighbors by location, history and consistently superior wines. We waited years to buy only here. Anywhere else further out in the cobblestones would have been a compromise. Developing the Estate with one wine in mind—the Rediviva of the Stones—we have densely planted clones of syrah, cabernet sauvignon, grenache, mourvèdre, marsanne and roussanne.

The Columbia Valley Appellation wines are sourced from six great estate grown vineyards. Caleb’s experience making wine from Champoux and Conner Lee Vineyards spans 16 vintages since 1992. All winegrowing stages are all maintained to Buty’s specific goals from pruning to shoot positioning, prevéraison cluster thinning, water and pest management, and the day and the time of harvest. They exclusively harvest by hand and hand berry sort on a shaker table before fermentation.
