2023 Gilbert Riesling Pétillant Naturel

2023 Gilbert Riesling Pétillant Naturel - To maintain the inherent fruit qualities, these grapes were harvested in small lots in the early hours of the morning. The grapes were then placed in ½ to 1 tonne bins only, to enable better quality control and detect any fruit variations. The fruit was destemmed, pressed and then racked, where fermentation was then initiated. Fermentation was monitored, and the temperature was maintained between 13-16°C to allow for a steady controlled ferment. Once the baume level had dropped by 2/3 of its value, the residual sugar was then regularly measured as we were aiming to bottle at around 12.5 grams/litre. We then waited for the fermentation to finish before releasing in July 2024.
