Product information "Eagles' Nest Sauvignon Blanc 2018"
The Eagle's Nest Sauvignon Blanc exudes typical Sauvignon Blanc aromas of passion fruit, pineapple and gooseberry. These aromas are also evident on the palate, where they combine with nuances of green apple, tangy kiwi and subtle floral notes, and together with the freshly lively acidity of the wine, they make for delicious enjoyment. Its soft and elegant mouthfeel as well as its concentrated acidity provide a perfect pleasure experience!

The grapes for this Sauvignon Blanc were harvested by hand and transported in a refrigerated truck to the winery, where they were cooled down to 5ºC overnight in a cold room. The following morning the grapes were destemmed and left to soak for 8 hours before being gently pressed. The juice was left to rest overnight in stainless steel tanks, whereupon the clear juice was mixed with yeast. The fermentation temperature was kept extremely low with a maximum temperature of 14ºC. After fermentation, the wine matured on the yeast for 6 months for optimal complexity.
