about the harvest
Hand picked early morning on 8 March 2011, at a sugar level of 26° B.
 
in the cellar
The grapes are lightly crushed, destalked and left on the skins for natural enzymatic fermentation. After 3 days of fermentation approximately 3% of natural alcohol was formed. The fermentation was then arrested with the addition of neutral grape spirit. This approach helps to express the beautiful grape flavour of Muscat de Frontignan. The wine was then stored in a stainless steel tank for the grape flavours and spirits to integrate prior to bottling.
