WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Sauvignon grapes are carefully harvested and undergo temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel tanks. To enhance complexity, texture, and mouthfeel, the wine is aged for several months on its fine lees (sur lie) in stainless steel, accompanied by regular bâtonnage (lees stirring). This process imparts a creamy structure while preserving the vibrant, fresh fruit characteristics of the grape.
