Forefathers Sauvignon Blanc, crafted from the 19-acre Wax Eye Vineyard on Hawksbury Road in Marlborough, showcases the unique characteristics of glacial soils. These soils provide excellent water retention and impart a distinct minerality to the wine. Harvested at 2:00 am to ensure optimal cool temperatures, the grapes are immediately pressed and inoculated. The wine undergoes 100% stainless steel cold fermentation and is aged on the lees for three months, enhancing its creaminess. This meticulous process results in a vibrant, mineral-driven Sauvignon Blanc with a creamy texture and complex flavor profile.
