This Riesling comes from the Georges Road Vineyard in Waipara. The fruit is hand harvested into small 10kg bins and transferred to these 400kg bins for transport to the winery. The fruit looked great (its been a very good year in Waipara) - around 21 Brix 3.1 pH and with around 8g/L acid.
Ready to go - all our white are whole-bunch pressed
We use the forklift to tip the fruit onto our conveyor.
The 'cellar rats' aid the fruit onto the conveyor
Our press holds around 3 tonnes of whole-bunch fruit. Each press cycle takes around 3 hours to complete.
