The sauvignon loves the coolness of the nearby ocean, which is only 25 kilometers away from the vineyards of this sauvignon blanc. As a result, the average temperature here in the summer months is no higher than around 22 ° C. In addition, a choice was made for planting on the southern slopes, which are the coolest here in the Southern Hemisphere. This produces grapes with a nice freshness, perfect for a nice Sauvignon. Cool and slow fermentation gives it its special fruit, which is so characteristic of the sauvignon blanc. A few months maturation of the yeast cells gives it extra strength and character, resulting in a delicious, sparkling Sauvignon blanc.
