Tasting Notes
VINEYARD
This wine is made from meticulously sourced grapes from different sites and slopes. The grapes were hand harvested by the Muratie team. We ensure optimal ripeness and quality prior to harvesting.
VINIFICATION
The grapes are harvested by hand and picked at different sugar levels for diverse aromas, then destalked are transferred to the press. Two and a half hours of skin contact allows for flavour extraction, after which the grapes are gently pressed and the juice pumped to a stainless steel tank to settle overnight. The juice is then racked and pumped into stainless steel tanks for a combination of wild and inoculated fermentation. Cold fermentation at 12-16 °C allows for a slow and steady fermentation, resulting in a crisp, and fruity wine.
WINEMAKER’S COMMENTS
Conceived as a partner to the to the Muratie Melck’s Red, this crisp, refreshing and accessible wine is light but not lightweight. It has a flinty perfume leading to a fruit salad of flavours, from green apple and lime to tropical guava and pineapple. Dry and zesty with a clean, persistent, mineral finish.
