RHANLEIGH NATURAL SWEET
WHITE
Viticulture and winemaking:
This wine is made from the Sauvignon Blanc grape
of which the vineyards are planted in a mostly
loamy soil.
The grapes were mechanically harvested in the
early, cool hours of the morning during the last
week of January.
Grapes were gently crushed and de-stemmed
before gently pressing with a Della Toffola
pneumatic press. The free-run juice was clarified,
inoculated with WE14 yeast, and fermented at 15
degrees Celsius.
When the residual sugar reached 60g/l, the
fermentation was stopped by means of
pasteurization to leave natural sugar in the wine.
The wine was then stabilized, filtered, and bottled.
Tasting notes:
Light in color, tropical fruit salad on the nose an
easy daytime drinking wine.
