Settlement Heritage Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc 2022
Grown on silty clay soils, the grapes were machine harvested and pressed straight to stainless steel. After settling, most of the juice fermented in tank, while 15% went into old French oak for extra texture. The wine aged for five months before bottling, without fining.
