Domaine Chandon Sauvignon Blanc

Vineyard

Sauvignon blanc grapes were sourced from cool vineyard sites in the Yarra Valley, Strathbogie Ranges and Goulburn Valley. The vineyards, planted on soil types identified as being ideal for producing varietal sauvignon blanc, contribute unique characters to the complexity of the final wine. Vineyards were meticulously maintained during the growing season to achieve dappled light throughout the canopy, ensuring the retention of pristine varietal flavours.

Wine Maker

The Domaine Chandon Sauvignon Blanc was harvested when the winemaking team had determined that the grapes were displaying optimum flavour intensity and acid balance. Harvest and pressing occurred in the coolest part of the early morning to ensure the delicate fruit flavours of the vineyard were captured in the juice. This juice was held in contact with the lees for a short time to liberate complex flavours and add texture to the wine. The clear juice was racked and inoculated with a yeast strain that would complement the fruit profile of the wine. Fermentation occurred at cool temperatures in stainless steel tanks, after which time the wine was clarified, blended and bottled.
