ageing : Drink as a young vintage wine, because it shows its fruity components best. With a year’s ageing, more faint Muscat aromas will show.
in the vineyard : The grapes were selected from a 15 year old vineyard which lies high up on the southern slopes of the Hawekwa Mountains. The vineyard produced 6 ton grapes per hectare and produced healthy buches of the best grapes in the area.
in the cellar : The grapes were handpicked at full ripeness at 23.3º Balling with a good PH/ acidity balance. It was picked early morning to preserve the best flavour and left for 12 hours on the skins after crushing. The whole process was done reductively made from picking and settling to fermentation. The juice fermented for 22 days at 10 - 11º Celsius until dry. Extensive lees contact led to a further, longer wine on the palate. The wine was kept cool under reductive conditions until bottling. Just before bottling it was fined with Wyoming Bentonite and naturally cold stabilized.
