The grapes are harvested between 11.0 and 11.5 Baume and 9-10g\/L of acid. Hand harvesting is carried out in the early hours of the morning to keep the fruit cool and maintain quality and pristine fruit characters. Only free run juice and light pressings are used. The juice is kept cold and allowed to settle naturally - there is no filtration. The juice is racked off solids once it is bright and clear, allowed to warm to ambient temperature and then inoculated with a selected yeast strain. The ferment is maintained at 13 – 15°C over three weeks. This allows for maximum fruit character to be retained. After fermentation, the wine is stabilised and minimal fining (isinglass) is used. The wine is then lightly filtered and bottling carried out as soon as possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePicked by hand February 21st, 2020\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 class=\"p1\"\u003eCOLOUR\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eVery Pale lemon, watery colour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 class=\"p1\"\u003eAROMA\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eLifted grapefruit juice and bath salt characters are backed by orange blossom notes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 class=\"p1\"\u003ePALATE\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eA dry, light bodied style of Riesling with a zippy structure and purity of fruit running through the core of the wine.
