New Age White

New Age White Wine is very light-bodied, but utterly crisp and clean with a sweetish attack on the palate filled with honeydew melon, apricot flesh and zippy, zesty citrus fruit. It has effervescence, and the sparkly quality of the wine adds freshness and again floral and peachy flavors to the experience.A light yellow/green color. with fruity and floral aromas.Balanced acidity leads to soft, semi-sweet and slightly effervescent flavors and mouth feel.Serving HintsShould be served well-chilled as an aperitif or dessert. Also tastes great with spicy Thai, Indian, Chinese or Japanese cuisine.Winemaker NotesThe fruit is hand picked followed by crushing, cooling of crushed grapes, and pressing. Fermentation begins by inoculating with selected yeasts. Halfway through the fermentation process, the wine is centrifuged (spun) to halt fermentation, creating a slightly sweet, semi-sparkling wine.There is an immediate floral characteristic to this wine with petunias, gardenias and jasmine blossom; then sweet peach rind, citrusy, almost kaffir lime-type notes and ripe apricots; and some degree of fruity minerality.
