Vinification

The Sugar Loaf Riesling is sourced from a special part of the vineyard that unravels a myriad of flavours heading down the row; starting with lemon/lime on the heavier soils to stone fruit/tropicals on the lighter stonier soils. Harvested in great condition this fruit was fermented long and slow in stainless steel to preserve the luscious fruit flavours and zesty freshness. A light lees contact post ferment adds complexity and body.

Was malolactic fermentation used: no
Was high-solid fermentation used: no
