WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Arniston Bay Sauvignon Blanc 2023 is produced from 100% Sauvignon Blanc grapes. The winemaking process involves fermentation exclusively in stainless steel tanks, with no subsequent aging in oak. This approach is designed to maintain the wine's inherent freshness and primary fruit characteristics. Grapes are harvested when they reach their optimal ripeness to ensure the desired balance of fruit flavors and acidity.
