2010 Riesling
Our 2010 Riesling was hand picked on two separate days from our northern block of Riesling on the 21st and the 30th of September. The fruit was hand sorted to remove unwanted material, and then whole bunch pressed to ensure gentle extraction of the juice. The juice was then settled for 48 hours, racked off its sediment, and each batch inoculated with a different selected yeast strain. During fermentation the wine was kept at 10-12 degrees Celsius, and fermentation lasted approximately four weeks. At this stage the fermentation was stopped by chilling the wine, to achieve the desired balance and natural sweetness to match the fresh acidity of the wine. After settling, the wine was then racked off the yeast lees, and then stabilised and filtered prior to bottling in March 2011.
