Vinification
The Sauvignon Blanc grapes destined for this Cellar Selection wine were harvested in cool night temperatures to protect the aromatics. Clear juice is slowly fermented in stainless steel tanks using selected aromatic yeast strains.
Maturation
The wine is left to mature on yeast lees for a period of time to build palate weight and texture into the wine, without compromising freshness.
