WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Wakefield Estate Adelaide Hills Sauvignon Blanc 2023 is produced using 100% Sauvignon Blanc grapes. Winemaking focuses on preserving the varietal's aromatic intensity and the region's characteristic crispness. Grapes are sourced from the Adelaide Hills, a region known for its cool climate which allows for slow ripening and the development of complex flavors. Fermentation typically occurs in stainless steel tanks at controlled, cool temperatures to maintain freshness and primary fruit characteristics. The wine is generally aged briefly in stainless steel to ensure it is vibrant and approachable upon release. The winery's approach emphasizes respecting the vineyard site and the fruit, aiming for balance and elegance in the final wine. Wakefield Wines also demonstrates a commitment to sustainability, notably by being the first independent Australian winery to commit to Science Based Targets for carbon emission reduction.
