WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Yealands Reserve Sauvignon Blanc 2023 is produced from 100% Sauvignon Blanc grapes. Following harvest, the fruit is gently pressed, and the resulting juice is settled before fermentation. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks using selected yeasts, a process designed to capture and enhance the varietal's distinctive characters. No oak is used in the winemaking process. The wine is bottled to preserve its freshness and purity.
