Winemaking
The fruit was destemmed into open fermenters and naturally fermented on skins for 4 days, then basket pressed. The Sauvignon Blanc portion completed a cool fermentation in stainless steel tanks while the Semillon portion completed fermentation in seasoned French barriques to gain mid-palate complexity. The wine remained on lees for 3 months and was then racked, blended and bottled.
