Fiore
2023
A unique iced wine crafted from Riesling and Sauvignon Blanc, offering an exquisite balance of richness and freshness. The nose bursts with vibrant aromas of candied citrus, honeyed apricots, and ripe tropical fruits, underpinned by delicate floral and citrus blossom notes. On the palate, there is a velvety citrus pith texture with zesty grapefruit and lemon flavours. The balance of this wine promises delightful pairings with cheese and fresh fruit or a spicy Thai stir fry.
Crafted using a combination of Riesling and Sauvignon Blanc, the fruit for our Fiore was harvested at optimal ripeness to preserve its vibrant aromatics and natural acidity. Post-harvest, the grapes were frozen to concentrate sugars, flavours, and acidity. After thawing, the juice was gently pressed and fermented at cool temperatures to retain the bright, fresh character of the fruit. Fermentation was carefully monitored and stopped at the desired sweetness level, ensuring a balance between richness and acidity. The wine was then lightly fined and filtered before bottling.
