About The Harvest

All grapes were hand picked.

In The Cellar

Grapes were sorted before being crushed directly in to the press where skin contact was allowed for 8 hours. Pure yeast cultures were inoculated in the juice after pressing in order to optimize the fermentation process at around 16 degrees celsius. Extended lees contact was allowed after fermentation and the wine was allowed to naturally clarify under gravity prior to filtering. The Sauvignon blanc was carbonated to a pressure of 5.8Bar/20ºC bottled and labeled.
