Heading east from Santa Rita Hills to the far eastern end of the Santa Ynez Valley, you’ll notice an increase in temperature of about one degree per mile. The eastern end of the Santa Ynez Valley appellation is deliciously warm during the day, and enjoys a diurnal shift to cool evening temperatures – a picture perfect place to grow classic Bordeaux varietals such as Sauvignon Blanc. The early morning fog, warm afternoons, long hours of sunlight and cool evenings provide a climate that allows the grapes to fully ripen, yet retain the crisp and racy acidity that we like in our Sauvignon Blanc. Fiddlehead Sauvignon Blanc grapes are proudly sourced from three top-notch vineyards, Westerly, Vogelzang and Stolpman, that contractually custom farm to our demanding specifications. You can learn more about these vineyards in our Vines section.

At Fiddlehead, we love the different ways that Sauvignon Blanc can express itself. Each harvest, we look for special characteristics from our exclusive blocks in each of the vineyards and, if the vintage permits, craft three different styles of Sauvignon Blanc - Goosebury, Happy Canyon and Hunnysuckle.
