WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Wolftrap White 2023 is crafted as a blend of Viognier, Chenin Blanc, and Grenache Blanc. The winemaking process involves a subtle touch of oak, contributing to the wine's balance. The grapes for this vintage were harvested following a cool, wet ripening period that facilitated slow maturation, a condition often associated with enhanced quality and flavor development.
