WINE MAKING

The Riesling grapes were machine harvested in the cool of the morning to ensure retention of the pure varietal fruit flavours and natural acid. The berries were left to cold soak on skins for a few hours to enhance colour and allow some phenolic extraction for added texture. The berries were then pressed gently, the juice floated, and then inoculated with a carefully selected aromatic yeast strain. Ferment was set to 14 degrees, taking a couple of weeks to complete, ensuring the pure fruit characters were protected.
