Description
Tasting Notes: A light yellow with green tint in colour, flavours of ripe tropical fruit, yellow peaches and gooseberries complimented by a fresh acidity and lingering finish.

Food Suggestions: This wine will pair well with most seafood, but I think will go particularly well with some of the West Coasts fresh mussels or oysters! Low in calories and vegan-friendly
In The Vineyard

About The Harvest
Yield: 3 - 4 t/ha
Balling at Harvest : 21 - 22B
In The Cellar
Crush and destalk, 14 days fermentation at 14 - 15C. Grapes and juice handled reductively to prevent oxidation and lock in fruitiness. Maturation: Left on lees for 2 months to add complexity. The wine is then De-Alcoholised by way of a gently spun cone technology. This is done under vacuum and at low temperature to ensure that the product retains its distinctive wine body, colour and flavour.
Additional Information: Darling Cellars De-Alcoholised is a product range of varietals where the focus is on fruit driven, varietal true, value for money products. The grapes were harvested from dryland farmed vineyards in Darling, where the vines are not trellised and planted as bush vines.
