What Equipment Do You Need?
A 23-litre fermentation vessel, airlock, hydrometer, siphon, and 28–30 bottles. New to winemaking? Our wine starter kits bundle all essentials. Always sanitise with VWP or ChemSan for best results.
Upgrading your yeast: for a crisp, aromatic style like this, try Mangrove Jack's CL23, which keeps crisper whites clean and fresh — a good match for Sauvignon Blanc's herbaceous lift.
Fermentation Timeline
Week 1–3: Primary fermentation at 16–18°C for whites (cooler than reds).
Week 4–5: Add finings and allow to clear.
Week 6: Bottle and age for 4–6 weeks before drinking.
Tips for Best Results
- Whites prefer cooler fermentation at 16–18°C — this preserves aromatic character
- Sauvignon Blanc especially benefits from lower temperatures for fresh aromatics
- Allow wines to clear completely before bottling
- Drink while fresh — Sauvignon Blanc is best enjoyed within 1–2 years
