WINEMAKING
The wine was fermented in temperature–controlled stainless steel tanks. Fermentation was done to dryness with no malolactic fermentation. There was no use of oak, as our aim is to allow the exceptional grapes to show off their purest and fullest expression. We strive to produce a ripe yet restrained Sauvignon Blanc that combines the best of the aromatic qualities of the variety with the restraint that comes from our cool-climate site.
TASTING NOTES
A very clean, intense,bright Sauvignon Blanc. Shows strong aromas of anise-accented pear, green apple and peach with an underlying flinty mineral edge. The palate is tangy and flavorful, showing pear, melon and peach fruit. The finish is crisp and fresh.
