Vinification of the Sauvignon Blanc from Spy Valley

This well-balanced white wine from New Zealand is vinified from the Sauvignon Blanc grape variety. On New Zealand’s South Island, the vines that produce the grapes for this wine grow on clay and gravel soils. Once perfect physiological ripeness is ensured, the grapes for the Sauvignon Blanc are harvested particularly quickly and at the coolest possible time of day to preserve their aromas. After harvesting, the grapes are swiftly brought to the winery, where they are sorted and gently crushed. Fermentation then takes place in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. After it has finished, the Sauvignon Blanc can continue to harmonize for several months on the fine lees.
