Andrew Peller Estates Signature Series Sauvignon Blanc 2020

Harvested September 23 to October 1 from our long-standing growers in the Niagara-on-the-Lake regional appellation. Only premium free-run juice from Sauvignon Blanc grapes were used for full expression of the fruit. A small portion of the blend was fermented when ‘Wild Yeast’ began a spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeast in the cellar. (The wild yeast contributes to aroma and complexity) A combination of fermentation techniques was performed (both French oak barrels and stainless steel) then aged sur lie for 10 months in 100% French oak barrels (new and older barrels) to develop a rich, complex mouthfeel. Top barrel selection to determine the final blend.
