River Retreat Brut NV

NV BRUT
Winemaking
The grapes were picked during the cool of the night, the fruit was
de-stemmed and pumped into the press. Only the best quality of
free run juice was taken off; then clarified before adding yeast. The
fermentation was carried out at a cool temperature to maintain the
fruit flavours. After fermentation the base wine was allowed to rest
on yeast lees for 6 months before undergoing a second fermentation to
produce the fine bubbles.
The Wine
Light green straw in colour with a fine persistant bead showing lifted
aromas of citrus and apple. Tasting soft and refreshing with light
creaminess and balance.
With Food
A delicate wine well matched with soft cheeses and canapes.
