VINIFICATION
Grapes are destemmed and pressed before entry into stainless steel tanks for static clarification. Natural fermentation takes place over a period of 2-3 weeks within a controlled temperature range of 14-16oC. After fermentation is complete, sediments are removed during racking using a second tank. The Sauvignon Blanc and Viognier wines are stored separately until a blend is selected using clean, finished wine.
