| This wine is made from Sauvignon Blanc and Muscat grown in Mirror Lake Vineyard in the Golden Mile Bench. The site’s eastern exposure means the vines are almost entirely shaded in the late afternoon, which helps preserve freshness and delay ripening despite this region’s extreme heat. Soils here are typical sand and alluvial silt. The lion’s share of the grapes was whole-cluster pressed while a small amount was foot crushed and macerated for a day before being pressed off. After a quick settling, the wine is racked to stainless steel for fermentation. The wine then ages on full lees in neutral and year-old puncheon for six months before bottling unfined and unfiltered. 11.8% ABV, 8.2g/l TA, 3.2 pH |
