Vinification
The grapes harvested for this wine were crushed and gently bag pressed off to achieve fresh, elegant juice. The juice was then promptly clarified to fermentation tank where is then fermented slowly at cool temperatures to retain the very distinctive regional and varietal characters of Sauvignon Blanc from Marlborough. After fermentation was complete each tank was evaluated and blended to make this Classic Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc. A large proportion of the wine came from around the Wairau Valley with the balance of the fruit coming off vineyards scattered within the Awatere Valley.
