WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Thörle Sauvignon Blanc is crafted using a combination of traditional and modern winemaking techniques. Grapes are hand-harvested to ensure quality. A 24-hour maceration period on the skins is employed to enhance aroma extraction. Fermentation occurs over four weeks, with the vast majority (95%) in stainless steel tanks to maintain freshness, while a small portion (5%) is fermented in wooden Tonneau barrels for added complexity. Following fermentation, the wine is aged on its full lees for four months, contributing to its texture and depth before bottling.
