It’s Here!!!
A deviation from minimal intervention. This is a new product for us. It’s like wine, but it’s just weird. I took the skins I pressed for our Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling, Muscat and Pinot Gris and poured water over them. Then because the pH of water is so high, I added tartartic acid to lower the pH, hoping to avoid microbial spoilage that thrives at a high pH. As the alcohol was only about 2.5% I needed to add sugar to increase the alcohol – called chaptilization.
In theory, this is the opposite of minimal intervention. I heard about it. I wanted to try it and so here it is. It’s a light, wine-like thing that reuses skins which we would normally discard.
Comes in a handy 1L size in a returnable-to-us flip-top bottle
