WINE MAKING PROCESS
Boulder Bank Sauvignon Blanc is produced by Goldschmidt Vineyards, with Nick Goldschmidt as the winemaker. The grapes are sourced from sustainably farmed vineyards in Marlborough, New Zealand, utilizing practices aligned with Sustainable Winegrowing New Zealand. The viticultural approach emphasizes slow and even ripening through gentle afternoon breezes and cool night temperatures, with modest yields achieved by cane-pruning. The 2022 vintage experienced a challenging growing season, with warm periods followed by rain and cold snaps, leading to delayed ripening. However, a dry spell during the late harvest period helped salvage the vintage. The winery's philosophy centers on innovative winemaking and presentation.
