Vinification of the Sauvignon Blanc from Maison Marcellin The Sauvignon Blanc from Maison Marcellin originates from carefully managed vineyards situated on calcareous, well-aerated soils. This location favors the ideal development of the grapes and lends the wine its distinctive minerality. The grapes are usually harvested in the early morning hours to preserve the cool temperature and thus maintain the aromatic freshness. The harvest time is precisely calculated to achieve an optimal balance between fruit and acidity. After careful selection, gentle pressing follows, which preserves the valuable grape material and ensures the natural purity of the fruit. Vinification is carried out under temperature control at low temperatures to retain the typical fruit aromas and the lively acidity.
