General

Tasting Notes (recommended):Super value sparkling wine. Grapey muscat whiffs on semi-sweet sparkler, spicy mouthfeel with perky finish. Honeyed aromas, fresh grapey flavours, clean finish. Compliments sweeter dishes, chocolate desserts and spicy Eastern cuisine. Recommended maturation potential : 1 to 3 years.

Vineyard

% of Grape / Cépage:White Muscadel.

Soil:Well drained alluvial sand / stone soil.

Growing Climate / Vintage Conditions:15 year old vines on 4-wire Perold trellising system. Drip irrigation controlled by a computer system through meters and tensiometers.

Type of Harvest:Harvesting is done by hand and machine. Advantage of the machine is that harvesting can be done at night when the grapes are cooler and the result thereof is better quality. Harvested at 22 degrees Balling. Yield 20 tons per hectare.

Vinification (Wine-making)

Method:Style : A creamy semi-sweet fruity sparkling wine. Vinification : Artificial injection of carbon dioxide into the wine takes place. The wine and the syrup are chilled and the carbon dioxide is administered through a porus "candle". This then dissolves in the wine. It is stored in pressure resistant tanks, filtered and bottled under pressure. R/S 36.0 g/l
