Production Details Quintessential Klein Constantia Sauvignon Blanc made from 44 different batches sourced from 43 vineyard blocks. Harvested at 4am. Each block was harvested and vinified separately. Only free run juice was used from a combination of whole bunch and destemmed grapes. The wine was made in a more oxidative style to leave stable flavour compounds. 25% of the fruit underwent 12 hours of skin contact. Fermented with 80% wild fermentation using 100% organic nutrients.
