WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Kono Sauvignon Blanc is produced using 100% Sauvignon Blanc grapes from Marlborough, New Zealand. The winemaking process emphasizes preserving the wine's natural fruit purity and vibrant acidity. Grapes are fermented in stainless steel tanks, a technique chosen to maintain the fresh aromatics and flavors characteristic of the varietal and region. There is no indication of oak usage, suggesting the wine is aged in stainless steel to retain its crispness and lively profile. The overall approach aligns with sustainable viticulture and a philosophy of respecting the land.
