2019 Sauvignon Blanc
Vinification
The Sauvignon Blanc was harvested on September 4, 2019. Immediately after picking was whole cluster pressed. The juice was transferred to a stainless steal tank where the fermentation took place. At the conclusion of fermentation the wine was gently racked to used French Oak barrels where it was aged for 4 months. The Cold Creek Viognier was barrel fermented and barrel aged. No new Oak was used in the vinification of this wine.
After 4 months of aging these wines were racked to tank and blended to be cold stabilized in preparation for bottling.
