Crafted using natural yeasts found in the grape skins, El Lagar de Moha's Sauvignon Blanc is fermented in stainless steel tanks, stabilised with bentonite and cold rested, and filtered using natural cellulose plates. The vines are cultivated using organic farming techniques, resulting in a wine that is not only delicious but also environmentally friendly.
The grapes are carefully selected from vineyards in Nava del Rey, which are audited and certified by the Castilla y León Organic Farming Council. The vines are planted on the typical terraces with boulders (the so-called "cascajosos" soils) close to the Duero River.
The treatments used on the vines are of natural origin, including infusions and broths of herbs such as horsetail, camomile, yarrow, and valerian. Weed control is carried out with tillage techniques, and no herbicides are used. These techniques help maintain and increase biodiversity in the vineyard, resulting in grapes that genuinely express their unique characteristics.
The grapes are harvested in early September and undergo a short, cold maceration before being pressed. Fermentation takes place with natural yeasts present in the skins of the grapes. The wine is clarified with bentonite to stabilise it before bottling in February.
