WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for the Sattlerhof Gamlitz Sauvignon Blanc begins with a short maceration period of 4-8 hours on the skins. The grapes are then fermented in stainless steel tanks, with native fermentation and partial malolactic fermentation utilized. Following fermentation, the wine undergoes an aging period of five months on its fine lees. This approach aims to preserve the varietal's aromatic intensity and build texture and complexity.
