WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for this Sauvignon Blanc involves delicate handling of the grapes, including gentle processing and crushing. Fermentation is carried out at controlled temperatures to preserve aromatics. Following fermentation, the wine matures on its fine lees in stainless steel tanks. Malolactic fermentation is not employed. This approach focuses on maintaining the wine's freshness and varietal character.
