WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Lomond Estate Sauvignon Blanc is produced using 100% Sauvignon Blanc grapes. Following hand-harvesting, the grapes are vinified separately based on their soil origin. The juice undergoes cold fermentation between 13°C and 15°C using selected yeast strains, likely in stainless steel tanks to maintain freshness. Post-fermentation, the wine rests on its fine lees for six months to develop texture and depth. The wine has a pH of 3.4 and a total acidity of 6.7 g/l, with a residual sugar of 2.8 g/l, contributing to its dry profile.
