Regno Recas - Sauvignon Blanc

 Viticulture and Vinification
Green and herbaceous flavours coupled with some tropical notes are what we see developing in our Sauvignon Blanc as it ripes. The aim is to attain a balance and intensity of all these attributes. Night harvesting, gentle pressing, cool fermentation and carefully protecting the young wine from too much air contact are all part of the process for keeping the vineyards flavours fresh into the bottle. No oak is used.
