The Corvelia Paso Robles Sauvignon Blanc 2025 is a $9.99 Trader Joe’s exclusive. It is sourced from multiple vineyards in the Paso Robles AVA of the Central Coast AVA in California.
The Story
This is a rare Trader Joe’s wine that actually has a webpage, though it offers little information. Corvelia brand has 3 wines, all from Paso Robles: a Cabernet Sauvignon, a Zinfandel, and this Sauvignon Blanc.
Paso Robles AVA is halfway between Los Angeles and San Francisco. It is known as the AVA that does things its way and has grown in reputation over the years. It is well known for producing Red wine, but several top Paso Robles wineries have been making respected Sauvignon Blanc wines.
I checked the California Wine Cola Registry; it is concerned with wine labeling, not soft drinks. It showed Monterey Wine Company as the Winery of record.
Bozzano and Company was the winery of record for the other Corvelia wines, and they also hold the trademark for the brand name. The back label shows Monterey Wine Company as the address.
I don’t know if California Wine Cola has bad info or if Bozzano farmed out the wine production.
There are no production notes, but Sauvignon Blanc in this price range is typically fermented in Stainless steel vats and also aged for a short time in stainless steel.
The alcohol content is 13.5%.
