The Lace Sauvignon Blanc is an expression of a range of ripeness, picked from the same block. Dominated by green,
floral notes, on the nose it releases complex aromas of green pepper and gooseberry. The palate the wine shows
well balanced fruit and acidity with a broad, lingering finish due to the lees contact and concrete eggs.
Picking decisions at Almenkerk are made by tasting the grapes daily during
the harvest season. With Sauvignon blanc, we look for a balance between
green & tropical flavours while retaining the natural acidity our cool climate
offers us.
Harvesting takes place early morning to keep the grape temperature low.
All grapes are hand-picked into small lug boxes to prevent compaction.
Meticulous sorting is done in the vineyard and again at the cellar.
From crushing the grapes, the grape- & juice handling takes place in an inert
environment, avoiding any contact with oxygen throughout the entire
process through the use of dry ice and specialised equipment such as our
Bucher inert press. This preserves the more delicate aromas in the resultant
wine.
