## Wine making process

The Zolo Sauvignon Blanc 2024 is produced from grapes sourced from the El Jarillal Estate in Alto Agrelo, Mendoza. Fermentation is conducted at low temperatures and at a slow pace to preserve fruitiness, and the wine does not undergo malolactic fermentation. Following fermentation, the wine rests in stainless steel tanks, with no oak contact. The vineyard's high elevation and significant diurnal temperature range are key factors in developing the wine's aromatic qualities and fresh acidity.
