Forge Mill Sauvignon Blanc

Forge Mill Sauvignon Blanc

Ref: sa2201


Price: £5.58



Currently not available



This wine offers alluring flavours and aromas of fresh cut grass and tropical fruit, with apricot and fig. On the palate, it is fresh and zesty, with a lingering herbaceous taste. This Forge Mill Sauvignon Blanc is the perfect refresher and light food wine, with tropical fruits and grassiness giving way to a crisp, dry taste.

Selected vineyards are hand-picked in the early mornings when the grapes are cool, and brought in before 11h00. At harvesting, sugar levels were between 19° and 22° Balling.

The whole process is done reductively i.e. reducing exposure to oxygen. After destalking and chilling, flavour extraction is achieved by 8-10 hours skin contact. After separation from the skins, the juice is settled overnight. Clear juice is racked from the lees to a fermentation tank and inoculated with active dry yeast. Fermentation is at about 10-13 °C to maintain the flavours. The wine is allowed to ferment dry, and then racked from the lees, stabilised and filtered to be ready for bottling.

Grapes originated from Franschhoek Region. Average age of vines: 10-15 years Type of soil: Alluvial
