Production Details Hand-picked early in the morning and whole-bunch pressed in a basket press. After 24 hours settling, Sauvignon Blanc and Chenin Blanc plus Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon were co-fermented in old 600-liter barrels over six months. After fermentation the wine was racked to stainless steel, the remaining components were added, and the final blend was returned to barrel on the fine lees until bottling nine months later. Produced with no additions of acids or enzymes. The final blend is 75% Sauvignon Blanc, 22% Chenin Blanc and 3% Semillon.
