Stellenbosch Sauvignon Blanc

Stellenbosch Sauvignon Blanc Wine Details
Price: $18.00 per bottle

Description: Long ‘hangtime,’ as we like to call it in California, was the theme of this vintage as flavors built slowly until our early late March/early April harvest. Grapes were picked in small lugs, only in the cool of the morning, hand-sorted at the winery, and immediately pressed. Following a three-day cold settle, inoculation of select yeast strains initiated the long, cool fermentation, in the low 50°F range. Only stainless steel vessels were used, never any wood, and malolactic fermentation was not permitted.
