WINE MAKING PROCESS
The West Sauvignon Blanc 2019 is produced from 100% Sauvignon Blanc grapes. The winemaking process involves fermentation in stainless steel tanks, a technique chosen to preserve the wine's inherent freshness and aromatic profile. Following fermentation, the wine undergoes aging in stainless steel. The grapes were harvested in September 2019. West Wines' winemaking philosophy centers on a traditional French style, aiming to showcase the varietal character and the vineyard's expression. The winery actively implements sustainability practices, including efforts to reduce energy and water consumption, the use of solar power, and the cultivation of cover crops to enhance soil health and support beneficial insects.
