'Kellys Farewell' Semillon Sauvignon Blanc 2019

A total of 11.17 tonnes of Semillon grapes were picked on the estate on March 11, 2019 at a Baumé of 11.8°. The grapes were brought straight to the winery from the vineyard and crushed, pressed and pumped into stainless steel refrigerated tanks for settling. On March 8, 2019  6.61 tonnes of Sauvignon Blanc grapes were picked on the new block and brought to the winery. The clear juice from both varieties was then racked to fermenters for alcohol fermentation. This process took 24 days in the case of the Semillon and 18 days for the Sauvignon Blanc. The wine was then 65%/35% blended and protein and cold stabilised and subjected to a fining procedure. After this the wine was filtered and bottled in July 2019 1083 cases were made.
