Dry white wine Stellenbosch Hills, Sauvignon Blanc is made from the grape variety of the same name grown in the Stellenbosch region. The berries are harvested by hand in the early morning when they reach optimum ripeness. The morning grape harvest helps to preserve the fresh aroma of tropical fruits in the bouquet of future wine. After gentle pressing, the juice obtained by the “free flow” method is left in contact with the skin for 4 hours. Pre-fermentation stabilization and settling takes two days. Alcoholic fermentation is carried out under controlled low temperature conditions.
