Winemaking

The pride of LEVIN winery is, of course, our final product... the wines. Upon harvesting the vines, the grapes are carefully brought to the winery in individual 11 kg baskets and manually tipped into the press. The juice is then transferred to the tanks.

Our tanks are stainless steel and temperature controlled. We allow the wine to ferment at a low temperature with cultured yeasts in sealed tanks which helps prevent oxidative flavours from developing. The LEVIN winery is one of the first in the world to conduct experimental trials with various oxygen injection rates on Sauvignon Blanc during Fermentation, a process improves the structure and flavor profile of our wines.

For LEVIN, the process is one of controlled simplicity. Our goal is to permit the grapes to express their full potential with as little intervention as possible. We are not in the Loire Valley making Australian wine, but instead growing excellent French Sauvignon Blanc, using the most innovative methods while remaining firm to our traditional roots.
