Winemaking and Analysis
- Grapes originated from our Estate vineyard
- Osceola Muscat picked at the beginning of ripeness to ensure good acid structure, and more citric and tropical fruit aromatics
- Fermented long and slow at very low temperatures. This helps the wine hold the naturally dissolved CO2 that is a result of the fermentation process and retains the aromatic qualities of the grapes
- Topped up and bottled under pressure, (2 bars of dissolved CO2) ensuring the retention of a low dose of carbonation, and a refreshing slight spritz or ‘fizz’.
- For context, Champagne and Traditional Method Sparkling wines are generally much higher in pressure at 5-6 bar. Prosecco and Cava tend to be a little lower at 3-4 bar. Our ‘Seafoam’ is therefore not classified as a sparkling wine, but instead is a wine with low dissolved CO2, comparable to a frizzante and Moscato D’Asti style
- All stainless-steel fermentation
- Bottled in 500ml glass for easy sharing
