Pizzini 'Makers Blend' White

Our Maker’s Blend White is Joel’s take on a traditional Alsatian blend ‘Gentil d’Alsace’. The Riesling and Moscato parcels of fruit were crushed, de-stemmed and pressed lightly, while the Pinot Grigio parcel was only pressed to minimise extraction of colour and phenolics. Each batch of juice was then inoculated with an Alsatian yeast and they were fermented separately at a cool temperature (14 – 15 °C) to allow the best extraction of varietal expression and aromatics. After fermentation the different varietal batches were blended to find the perfect balance, then the wine spent four months in contact with yeast lees to add complexity and to give more roundness and texture before being bottled.
