WINE MAKING PROCESS
Grapes for the 9 Lives Fierce Reserve Sauvignon Blanc are harvested mechanically in March from Chile's Central Valley. Upon arrival at the winery, the berries undergo a pre-fermentation maceration for 4-6 hours at cool temperatures (10-12°C). The must is then pressed, with parts of it separated and later recombined. Fermentation occurs in stainless steel tanks under strict temperature control. Following fermentation, the wine is aged for a brief period in stainless steel reservoirs to maintain its freshness and varietal expression.
