A beautiful company in moments of perfection, tranquility and sincerity, Silver Angel is true to its style: fruity, citrusy-herbaceous Sauvignon Blanc from Midalidare, increasingly expressive with each successive harvest.

The palate is dominated by citrusy notes, the finish is long and mineral with persistent and memorable aftertaste.
The harvest for Silver Angel takes place in the early mornings during the first half of September. Machine and hand-picked grapes are carried out with 10-12 kg boxes.
After immediate 24-hour cooling the grapes are carefully double sorted by hand. At first the whole clusters are sorted and after being destemmed, the second sorting of the grapes is carried out. The finest selection of Sauvignon Blanc grapes are sent by gravity for gentle pressing. A cold soak takes place in order to allow aromas from the skin to penetrate the grape juice. The grapes are than strained and delicately pressed into stainless steel vats. Clarification for a few days preceded the yeasts introduction and slow fermentation at controlled temperature.
