WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Zonnebloem Sauvignon Blanc 2024 is produced using 100% Sauvignon Blanc grapes. The winemaking process involves fermentation in stainless steel tanks, followed by maturation in the same vessels. This method is chosen to preserve the wine's inherent freshness and varietal characteristics. Grapes are hand-harvested at specific ripeness levels to capture a spectrum of flavors. The producer, Zonnebloem Wines, follows a philosophy of patient, handcrafted winemaking, allowing the natural qualities of the grapes and region to express themselves.
