Sauvignon Blanc Oke

Description :

The fruit for this wine was sourced from select blocks in the lower Wairau Valley. These blocks have been historically the most intensely flavored and balanced in the vineyard. The fruit was hand-harvested and whole bunch pressed. This juice was dropped down, without settling, to 320 L French oak cigars for indigenous fermentation. The cigar shape barrels were chosen as they increase the surface area of the lees, which helps to build weight and texture. After nine months of maturation, a selection of the best barrels was then blended, finished, and bottled.
