SV Albarino 'Bell-Ringer' 2022

This wine is so named because it tastes and smells as pure as the peal of a bell, and it was grown by Doug Bell in his vineyard just outside of Gisborne. The fruit was harvested and trucked up to Auckland for processing in mid-March. The juice was kept chilled and stirred for a week prior to fermentation. It was fermented in stainless steel to preserve fruit characters. The resulting wine was kept on yeast lees for 4 months, with weekly stirring to promote autolysis. In August 2022 the wine was fined and filtered filtered.
