in the cellar : Wines have natural low pH (3.2 - 3.38) which will manifest in lower sulphar levels and will insure longer shelf lives. No need to add Tararic Acid which will insure softer white and rose wines. Wines will taste fresher later during the vintage due to lower pH. Muscat also helps to enhance the fruit flavours in these wines which also lends to a longer shelf life. Cold fermented in stainless steal tanks for 12 to 14 days.
