| All of the Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon was whole cluster pressed.
Whole cluster pressing gives us juice of incredibly high fruitiness and softness. After pressing and settling, 70% of the juice was moved to small oak barrels where it was put through a long, cool fermentation. Within two weeks, the wine fermented to dryness and the wines were allowed to age "sur lie" for a total of five months in the small oak barrels. This pressing, fermentation and aging program adds rich complexity to the aromas and flavors. Winemakers notes |
