Decoy Featherweight is a refreshing lower-in-calorie* and lower-in-alcohol* Sauvignon Blanc, delivering delicate citrus notes of Meyer lemon, grapefruit, and lime; complemented by lush, tropical fruit flavors and a long, crisp finish. With uncompromising quality, Decoy Featherweight is crafted from the current vintage of Decoy Sauvignon Blanc, utilizing the same premium California fruit sourcing. The wine undergoes traditional winemaking methods before a portion goes through a spinning cone and vacuum distillation process that gently removes alcohol while retaining much of the original aromas and flavors.
Since the inaugural vintage of our Decoy Napa Valley Red Wine more than a quarter century ago, Decoy has taken an important place in the Duckhorn Portfolio of wines.
The 2023 California growing season began with plentiful winter rains that revitalized the soils after several years of drought. Cool spring temperatures led to later ripening trends, running anywhere from two weeks to a month behind average. The alcohol-removed wine is then blended back into the base wine, resulting in a lively and enticing lower-in-calorie* and lower-in-alcohol* Sauvignon Blanc.
Pairs well with seafood, goat cheese with caviar, green vegetables such as asparagus, zucchini, artichoke, chicken, or pork.
