Vinification

The Sauvignon Blanc was harvested after a beautiful warm Summer on August 21st and 22nd 2021.  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.
