Great care was taken removing the alcohol from this cool climate white wine, showcasing pure aromas of gooseberry, capsicum and citrus. The elegant palate is underpinned by sumptuous tropical fruit and lime flavours, finishing with a fresh acidity and lingering aftertaste.
Winemaking
The alcohol is removed via spinning cone technology at low temperature under vacuum. The initial phase is to first remove the flavour, set aside. Then the alcohol is removed and once done we can take the flavour back to the de- alcoholised wine. There is a significant volume loss during
processing, a portion of the alcohol water is then again put through the process to extract the water. And added back. This helps to fill out the palate and balance acidity. Normal winemaking practices are followed from here in preparation for bottling.
