Production Details The wine was made with a minimalistic approach, allowing for a pure expression of our granite soils that form part of our unique terroir. Using only the free run juice, wild fermentation took place in 500L neutral oak barrels. The wine was aged for 9 months in a combination of neutral French oak and acacia barrels. The Clara Sauvignon Blanc is made from a selection of the best 5 barrels from 6 single vineyards, allowing for a limited production of each vintage.
