Description

Brimming with vibrant citrus aromas and a crisp minerality, this Sauvignon Blanc offers a refreshing profile ideal for pairing with an array of dishes. Its bright acidity enhances seafood delights like grilled prawns and oysters, while subtle herbal undertones make it a harmonious match for goat cheese salads or asparagus dishes. The wine’s clean, lively finish adds a refreshing touch, making it a perfect companion for warm days and light, flavorful meals.
Bunches are hand-harvested. In the cellar, the bunches undergo destemming and are pressed into a settling tank overnight. The clear juice is then racked off the following day into the fermentation tank, where it undergoes cold fermentation for
approximately 26 days. After fermentation, the Elgin blend is created and blended with the first racking.
