Highfield Sauvignon Blanc 2015

Sauvignon Blanc, Fruit is sourced from a mixture of vineyards located in the Wairau, Omaka and Brancott valleys. Grapes are harvested in the cool of the early morning over a range of 21 – 23 brix. Free run juice is cold settled over 48 – 96 hours before being racked to stainless steel tanks for fermentation with selected yeast strains. A small percentage takes place in old French oak barrels. The wine is then aged on light lees post fermentation for a period of around 4 months to gain palate weight and texture.
