Syn Sparkling Rosé
RRP:
$22.00
Cool climate Coonawarra Chardonnay and Pinot Noir were harvested separately while sugar levels were low and acidity tight to promote elegance and delicacy in the fruit. Fermentation was enhanced with a yeast that promotes complexity and cool fermented in the presence of juice solids. Once fermented to dryness, the components were combined with some reserve wines matured in older oak and allowed to complete malolactic conversion to soften the acidity. Storage on yeast lees to promote creaminess. The wine received minimal fining before its secondary yeast fermentation to create the natural effervescence, after which a final touch up on dosage rounded out the texture.
