Description
Specialists in Sauvignon Blanc, Honig know how beautifully this wine can show in a region better known for Chardonnay. To achieve maximum complexity the grapes for this wine are treated using two different methods. To enhance the delicate tropical fruit flavours, a portion of the fruit goes directly into the press as whole clusters. The remaining fruit is de-stemmed and left in contact with the skins for several hours before pressing, amplifying the grapefruit/citrus components. All of the juice is fermented at cool temperatures in stainless steel tanks using a variety of yeast strains selected to bring out the delicate aroma and flavour profiles of Sauvignon Blanc.
