The grapes were pressed in a pneumatic press and underwent several hours of skin contact prior to fermentation in order to maximise flavour extraction from the aromatic Sauvignon Blanc grapes. A cool fermentation at 15°C helped to preserve the fresh fruit flavours. The wine did not undergo malolactic fermentation and there was no oak ageing. As a result, the style of the wine is pure, fresh and aromatic.
