Ghostrock chooses to machine harvest the Sauvignon Blanc for 2 main reasons. 1. Sauvignon Blanc requires generous skin contact to build texture and palate weight. 2. Vital flavour compounds are located in layers immediately below the skins, requiring liberation prior to pressing.
Following the harvest, the juice is pressed into stainless steel tanks (85%) for an inoculated fermentation with thiol-enhancing yeast, and into new French oak barriques (15%) for natural fermentation and aging. Both tank and barrel parcels received regular lees stirring and extended time of lees prior to bottling in mid August. The wine was crossed-flow filtered prior to bottling.
