2023 Wirra Wirra Hiding Champion Sauvignon Blanc

Sourced from Jeff Gower and Geoff Weaver’s Lenswood Vineyards and the Blefari Family Carey Gully Vineyard, the Sauvignon Blanc plantings date back to the 1980’s (Weaver Vineyard) 1999 (Gower Vineyard) and 2006 (Blefari Vineyard).
Vinification Handpicked and machine harvested grapes were destemmed, crushed and cooled during transfer to the airbag press. The juice was then pressed into stainless steel tanks, keeping the free run and pressings separate. Juice was cold settled for around five days then racked from gross juice lees. The free-run parcel was warmed and inoculated with yeast to begin fermentation. Fermentation temperatures were kept low to maintain pristine aromatics. Once fermentations were dry the wines were chilled and stabilised prior to blending, filtration and bottling.
