Wine Production
Grapes arrive during the cool of the night and are gently crushed to tank and given 12 hours skin maceration prior to draining and pressing. Wild yeasts then initiate and complete fermentation. When complete, the wine is left on its lees and given regular battonage to build complexity until blending. The 2016 Y Series Sauvignon Blanc is the first vintage that was fermented using only wild, or indigenous, yeasts.
