WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Chapel Hill Riesling Sauvignon Blanc 2023 is produced using temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel tanks. This technique is employed to maintain the freshness and aromatic integrity of the Riesling and Sauvignon Blanc grapes. The wine does not undergo oak aging, allowing its inherent fruit-forward character and vibrant acidity to be the dominant features. The grapes are sourced from contracted growers within the Balatonboglár region.
