New Release: Lieb Cellars Sauvignon Blanc

September 30, 2024

Lieb Sauvignon Blanc

You asked for it—so we made it.

We’re excited to officially introduce the Lieb Cellars Sauvignon Blanc, the newest addition to the Lieb Cellars portfolio and a wine we’re especially proud to share. After an early September pre-release to Wine Club members, the bottles have officially arrived at the Suhru & Lieb Vineyards Tasting Room.

And before the wine even fully hit our shelves, it already earned its first major recognition.

Wine critic James Suckling awarded the 2023 Lieb Cellars Sauvignon Blanc 91 points, highlighting this new release as one of the standout North Fork Sauvignon Blanc wines of the vintage. Needless to say, we’re incredibly proud of Russell and the winemaking team.

About the 2023 Lieb Cellars Sauvignon Blanc

This Sauvignon Blanc was fermented entirely in stainless steel tanks to preserve freshness, aromatics, and the bright acidity that makes Sauvignon Blanc such a food-friendly wine.

On the nose, the wine opens with:

  • gooseberry
  • lime zest
  • quince
  • grapefruit rind

On the palate, it delivers vibrant citrus flavors balanced by crisp acidity and refreshing minerality. While bright and energetic, the wine also carries a subtle richness that gives it texture and length through the finish.

The lingering grapefruit notes and fresh acidity make this Sauvignon Blanc especially well-suited for:

  • local seafood
  • oysters and shellfish
  • fresh summer salads
  • seasonal vegetables
  • goat cheese and lighter dishes

Why Sauvignon Blanc Thrives on the North Fork

The maritime climate of Long Island’s North Fork allows Sauvignon Blanc to retain its natural acidity while developing expressive citrus and tropical fruit character.

That balance of freshness and structure is what makes North Fork Sauvignon Blanc so distinctive—and such an easy wine to enjoy year-round.

Now Available at Suhru & Lieb Vineyards

Sauvignon Blanc is now available in our tasting room and online while supplies last.

Whether you’re already a Sauvignon Blanc fan or simply looking for a crisp, refreshing white wine for seafood season, this bottle is worth discovering.
