Winemaking
Our 2025 Purple Bike Riesling is produced exclusively from our estate vineyard. The riesling block is high density so entirely managed by hand. It is a labor of love
The grapes were hand harvested and then gently whole cluster pressed.
The juice was chilled and after settling for 72 hours, racked from solids to stainless steel tank.
Inoculated with a selected yeast strain, the fermentation was kept cool (12-16°C) with fermentation taking 3 weeks. At the ideal sugar / acid balance, the fermentation was halted by chilling and held in stainless steel tanksThe wine was then aged on lees for 2 months
Once stabilized, the wine was crossflow filtered before bottling.
