After a light pressing the juice was split into two batches and was used in different techniques of winemaking. We refer to these two versions as our "Earth" and "Forest" series.
The Earth series was fermented and aged in traditional earthen/ceramic vessels that we brought from China.
The Earth series maintains a pure aromatic grapefruit, gooseberry and passionfruit aroma profile as hallmarks of the variety. But also a broader, more open and complex texture on the palate, with the mouthwatering tart fruit being mellowed by prolonged lees contact.
