Vinification and Elevage - Cold pressed; the juice settled and then fermented in stainless steel. We matched a yeast strain specifically, to this wine in order to enhance the natural varietal characters of passionfruit and gooseberry. When fermentation was complete, the wine was then aged on its lees with gentle batton age for about a month before bottling in July to retain freshness.
Sauvignon Blanc is produced around the world and beloved for its herbal, grassy characteristics and it sparkling acidity. It can be found in a wide variety of styles, the most notable of which come from Bordeaux, Central California, Australia and New Zealand. Wines produced from sauvignon blanc range from green, with features like lemon grass, to juicy showing flavors like passion fruit and honeydew. They are also commonly strongly acid driven allowing the drinker to detect flavors like grapefruit or gooseberry. Sauvignon Blanc is classicly prepaired in stainless stell tanks but is occasionally fermented in concrete or allowed to age in neutral French oak barrells.
