Description
Sauvignon Blanc displays bright citrus aromas of fresh squeezed grapefruit, lime peel, guava, and hints of lemongrass. The palate is layered with flavors of candied pineapple, tangerines, and light floral notes. The finish is clean and accentuates the wine’s natural acidity for a crisp, refreshing finish.
Harvesting the Sauvignon Blanc at optimal ripeness in the cool morning hours also helps the grapes preserve their amazing aromatics. After harvest, the grapes are hand sorted and sent directly to the press for a gentle pressing. After settling out solids for about 6 days, the juice is then clean racked and inoculated with a very special yeast strain isolated from New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc grapes that will create and maintain the fresh fruit characteristics of the wine. Fermenting at a cooler temperature of 61-62 degrees also helps retain the freshness and amazing aromatics while avoiding astringencies. After fermentation, the wine’s natural lees were stirred twice a month for two months to help build body and create roundness of the wine. The wine was then settled, stabilized, and filtered.
ABV: 12.7%
