Dellrust Jerepigo 2006

Made from sweet fruity grapejuice of the Tinta Barocca grape. The grape juice had only a slight fermentation to produce some of the alcohol in this bottle. The rest of the alcohol was added with the fortification proses. The result gave us a light ruby coloured wine with lots op fruity apple flavours. This sweet fortified wine can be enjoyed after any meal day or night. It can also be a very romantic relaxing wine in front of a fireplace during the cold winter months.

about the harvest: The grapes were picked at the end of the season and the bunches had many raisin-like berries.

in the cellar : After crushing, the sugar level was measured at 27Âº Balling. Skin contact was allowed for six hours to extract colour and flavour. At the end of this period the grapes were pressed. The juice now had a sugar level of 34Âº Balling and was too sweet for Jerepigo, so it was allowed to ferment down to 20Âº Balling and then fortified with neutral grape spirits. One day later a bentonite fining was done to ensure protein stability. A few days later the wine was racked from the bentonite leese and pumped into a stainless steel tank. It remained in this tank for five months to allow the alcohol, sugar and flavour to integrate. Thereafter the wine was cold stabilised and bottled.
