Carefully selected parcels of Sauvignon Blanc which had both; great flavour development and a lower brix level, were used to craft this wine. At the winery, the fruit was gently pressed and left to settle. The clear juice was then racked off solids, followed by a long cool fermentation in stainless steel, to help enhance the fruit flavours. The ferment was stopped early to retain some natural sweetness, as well as creating the lighter alcohol style. The wine was then blended, balanced, stabilized and filtered before bottling.
