The Wine
A variety hailing from our home in Trentino, Teroldego has found a home on the hillsides of our estate. Crafted preservative free to maintain its exquisite colour, this wine comes to life on the palate with dark plum and blueberry characters. While this is the perfect wine to savour on its own, our Teroldego is delicious when paired with smoky foods, especially those that have been on a grill or cast iron pan, or even a wood-fired pizza.
Winemaking
Whole bunches of Teroledgo were hand harvested and placed in the bottom of open top fermenters, which helps to create more floral characters and elegance in the wine. The remaining grapes were crushed and pumped on top and were cooled to below 10 degrees Celsius. We maintained a low temperature for 5 days allowing natural fermentation to begin before moving the tanks into the sun to warm up and adding yeast to continue fermentation. The tanks were hand plunged to encourage soft extraction of flavour and chalky silky tannins. The grapes were lightly pressed and the wine placed into stainless steel for 5 months before bottling preservative free.
