WINE MAKING PROCESS
The 2019 Domaine du Grand Mayne Reserve Sauvignon Semillon undergoes cold fermentation and stainless steel maturation to preserve its freshness. While this vintage emphasizes stainless steel, other vintages from the producer have incorporated barrel fermentation and aging in new French oak, contributing to textural complexity. The estate's winemaking philosophy centers on creating accessible wines that reflect their terroir, with a growing commitment to sustainable practices like agroecology.
