Both selections were fermented individually, one with indigenous yeast one with a cultured yeast strain. Both ferments were whole bunch pressed, one ferment had eight hours of skin contact prior to pressing, lots of lees taken to ferment. Temperature of ferments 13-20 degrees Celsius, fermented for six weeks. Stopped the fermentation with approx 6 g/l residual sugar to balance the wine, minimal filtration. Wine has undergone filtration due to its residual sweetness. »  Download Tasting Notes (PDF, 676kb)
