WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process focuses on preserving the pristine fruit character and mineral tension of the Sauvignon Blanc grapes. After a gentle pneumatic pressing, the must undergoes cold settling. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks using selected yeasts. The wine is then aged on its fine lees for several months to build mid-palate texture and complexity before being lightly filtered and bottled.
