Auksinis Maceration Tardive
100% Sauvignon Blanc
Both “Vendange Tardive” and “Sélection de Grains Nobles” (100% botrytis), this wine is made from 60-year-old vines of Sauvignon Blanc grown on clay-limestone soil. A small part of the grapes from the Auksinis vineyards was left hanging on the vines for another 3 to 4 weeks (early November harvest) until the grapes completely affected by ‘noble rot’ similar to Auksini Tardive cuvées but added skin maceration. Extremely low yield.
