guava | tropical | grassy
Grape: Sauvignon Blanc
Region: Marlborough, New Zealand
Dietary: Sustainable
Winemaking: Harvested in the cool of the morning and protectively handled using nitrogen to exclude oxygen. The fruit was chilled, de-stemmed, crushed and gently pressed. Handling was kept to a minimum to reduce oxygen uptake, helping preserve the vibrant fruit character. The juice was cold settled then run off to a stainless steel tank for a slow and cool (14C) fermentation with selected yeast that lasted 28 days. The wine was stabilised over the next 8 weeks then bottled.
