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 barrel. The wine was aged for 9 months in 50% new French oak barrels. The Clara Sauvignon Blanc is made from a selection of the best 10 barrels from 6 single vineyards, allowing for a limited production of each vintage.
