WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Mary Taylor Bordeaux Blanc 2019 is produced using primarily Sauvignon Blanc with a small percentage of Sémillon. The grapes are sourced from sustainably farmed vineyards with approximately 30-year-old vines grown in gravel-rich soils. A key winemaking technique is fermentation without oak, typically carried out in stainless steel tanks. This method is employed to preserve the natural expression of the grape varietals and the vineyard's terroir, resulting in a wine that highlights its freshness and minerality.
