Ideal Chill: 45-49°F
Immediately following harvest, the skin and seeds are removed and the sauvignon blanc grapes are pressed and settled via cold static decanting over a 24-hour period. A selection of dry yeasts are added to start the process of fermentation, at a maintained temperature of 59-60°F. The fermentation lasts 3-4 weeks, after which the wine is aged on its lees with bâtonnage for one month. The exact length of time is determined by taste. Luca then leaves the wine to settle for two weeks and racks it again.

Before making wine for Archer Roose, he was the Technical Manager for Francois Lurton, where he converted their vineyards to organic viticulture. Luca still makes the wine for his family's estate in Priorat, returning every year for harvest.

Our sauvignon blanc grapes were raised with no herbicides or pesticides. Our vineyard is located in the middle of Casablanca Valley, between the Andes and the Pacific Ocean. The grape rows run east to west, allowing only one side of the canopy to be exposed to the sun to prevent overexposure. Ours is one of the last plots to be harvested, as the high clay content keeps the soil more cool, slowing ripening.
