ABOUT THE HARVEST
After getting used to early harvests the last couple of years, this vintage was much later. The reason is much cooler conditions during the early stages of the growing season.
These conditions fit Sauvignon Blanc like a glove giving greater fruit intensity. The wine is 100% tank fermented with two moths gross lees contact.

IN THE CELLAR
After sorting, destemming and crushing, 50% of the grapes had skin contact for 6-12 hours. Only the free-run juice was used for this wine. The wine was fermented in stainless steel tanks and left on the lees for 2 months. The challenge in the cellar is always to capture the full potential of each batch of grapes.
