Winemaking
This wine is sourced principally from the Wills Domain vineyard in Yallingup, with 33% coming from a southern Margaret River vineyard which introduces some tropical fruit and heightened elegance to the palate. Picked in the cool of the morning, and gently destemmed and pressed before being cold settled for three days. Once clear the juices were racked and inoculated with Zymaflore X5, a cultured dried yeast and fermented gently at 13-14 C for two weeks. Once dry the wine was racked off gross lees and left on light fluffy lees before fined, stabilised, filtered, and bottled
Food Pairing
Lemon braised chicken. The acidity and taste of lemon perfectly complement the citrus flavours of Sauvignon Blanc.
