Vinous2023 Sauvignon Blanc
Jardine Vineyard
Varietal - Sauvignon Blanc Estate CollectionOur Sauvignon Blanc comes from a small sandy-gravelly block on our Jardine Vineyard. Although naturally vigorous on the vine, this variety can be sensitive to degradation during winemaking so steps are taken to preserve its fragile varietal characteristics.
About
The grapes for the 2023 vintage were picked and delivered to the winery in the cool morning hours. The fruit was gently pressed and settled with judicious use of inert gas. The wine was then cold fermented in stainless steel tanks to limit oxidation and preserve the aromatics. Following fermentation, the wine was kept on the lees to further enhance the characteristics and mouthfeel.
