White wine is a wine that is fermented without skin contact. The colour can be straw-yellow, yellow-green, or yellow-gold. It is produced by the alcoholic fermentation of the non-coloured pulp of grapes, which may have a skin of any colour. White wine has existed for at least 4000 years.

TASTING NOTES | Fresh and enticing, our North Coast
Sauvignon Blanc has summertime aromas of freshly shorn hay and a
sweet honeysuckle bouquet. On the palate, layers of ripe pear, green
apple and a hint of gooseberry. Its flavors flourish in the wine’s
minerality and finishes with a spry zest.
