WINEMAKING INFO

  • Alcohol   12.5%                     
  • Residual Sugar     3 g/L
  • pH           3.54                        
  • Total acidity          5.0 g/L
  • Bottled   July 2017               
  • Cases produced    660

 Vineyard & Winemaking notes:

  • harvested early September 2017 preserving acidity and fresh fruit qualities
  • 2016 was a hot, dry vintage, near perfect growing conditions
  • cool fermented in stainless steel
  • no blending or fining required

Tasting Notes:
Lifted and focused aromatics of tropical fruits especially passionfruit and ripe white grape notes are balanced with a clean, bright, fruit filled palate with a lengthy finish. Frissonesque is zesty and elegant from the first sniff to the very last sip. Pair with classics like asparagus in season, chèvre, pasta with lemon cream, or seafood. Perfect with a white pizza topped with herbed chicken.

 Great with a frivolous culinary adventure or the simplest of cuisine.

 

Reviews:

"...very white Bordeaux in style – pale straw in colour with a grassy, green plum nose; medium-bodied, crisply dry, gooseberry and green bean flavours with good length.
Tony Aspler, tonyaspler.wordpress.com 89 points

 "The nose drips with passion fruit, grapefruit, lime, kiwi and a range of tropical fruits on the nose. It’s fresh and lively on the palate with tropical fruits and herbs and all lifted by freshening acidity."
