Dombeya Sauvignon Blanc

The 2022 season was characterized by cooler weather conditions from winter to mid-December last year, which resulted in later than normal budding, flowering, veraison and ripening. Warm periods in December and January accelerated ripening, a few heat waves resulted in grapes with low acidity. Grapes still have loads of flavour and resulted in above normal quality.Grapes were handpicked at optimal ripeness during the early hours of the morning. It was destemmed and juice was removed quickly from the skins. Fermented in stainless steel tanks at cool temperatures to increase the fruit flavour compounds in the wine. After fermentation wine was left on the lease for an extra month. Wine is racked off lease unfiltered and unfined into bottle.
