Vinification of the Sauvignon Blanc / Gros Manseng from Maison Marcellin

The grapes grow in carefully selected vineyards with optimal climatic conditions. The Sauvignon Blanc vines benefit from plenty of sunshine and cool nights, which supports freshness and aromatic variety. The Gros Manseng grapes are cultivated in higher altitude locations, where they ripen slowly and retain their characteristic acidity.

The harvest is done by hand to ensure a careful selection of the highest quality grapes. The grapes are gently pressed and the musts are fermented separately. Vinification takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve the liveliness and purity of the fruit aromas. Through controlled fermentation, the wine unfolds its full aromatic range.

After fermentation, the wine matures for several months on the fine lees, which gives it additional creaminess and substance. This gentle aging in steel barrels ensures that freshness remains at the forefront and the typical varietal aromas are preserved. The final blend is carried out with great care to achieve the ideal harmony between Sauvignon Blanc and Gros Manseng.
