WINE MAKING PROCESS
The 1827 Sauvignon Blanc is crafted from 100% Sauvignon Blanc grapes. The winemaking process emphasizes preserving the grape's natural freshness and aromatic profile. Grapes are hand-harvested, typically in September. Fermentation occurs in stainless steel tanks at low temperatures to maintain fruit character. Post-fermentation, the wine is aged in stainless steel, with no oak influence, to ensure it is consumed young and vibrant. The wine is produced under the IGP Ștefan Vodă appellation.
