2018 Staterra White

Winemaking notes

This wine is a Blend comprising of 41% Chardonnay, 31% Gewurztraminer, 19% Viognier and 9%Muscat. Each batch of grapes was gently pressed, then cold settled in tank before the juice was racked off, kept separate and inoculated for alcoholic fermentation. Each variety received a specific yeast selected to enhance the varietal character and preserve the fresh fruit nuances. Once fermentation was complete the blending trials began. Once the final blend was decided upon the wines were then married together, stabilized, and filtered before going into bottle.
 

Tasting note:

This wine is a slightly deeper shade of gold. It has very bright aromas of cantaloupe melon, Asian pear and fresh buttercream frosting. It is full in the mouth without being fatty. It is a full bodied white wine. It finishes with a melon after taste..Tasted September, 2018
