Description:
The nose shows a light, refreshing wine perfumed floral characters and a hint of citrus. Overall the palate is fresh, fruity and lively with delicate peach and citrus flavors, sweet but not cloying with a nicely balanced acid and a zesty spritz. Perfect as an aperitif or pair it with Asian food.
Winemaker's Comment:
The grapes for this wine were machine harvested in the cool of the morning. After crushing, the must was drained, gently airbag pressed and immediately the free run juice only was cold settled at ultra-low temperatures. This juice was then fermented at low temperatures using carefully selected yeast strains as to not overpower but bring out the delicate varietal characters without increasing phenolic. The fermentation was arrested just prior to achieving dryness, leaving a wine with some residual sugar. This wine was then racked with it´s fine yeast lees to add complexity and maintain fruity freshness. The wine was subsequently cold stabilized and filtered ready for bottling.
