Production process
Vinos Sanz crafts this 100% Sauvignon Blanc with meticulous care. The grapes are chilled to under 6°C to extract the most flavorful juice. Only the best part, the must, is fermented cool to preserve the signature aromas. The wine then ages on its lees for 4-5 months, with regular stirring to enhance its richness. This attention to detail makes their Sauvignon Blanc a world-class favorite in the Rueda region.
