$16.00 per bottle
Description:
Our Pinot blancs have been dry wines. This requires that the primary, or alcoholic fermentation, finish completely. A variety of factors can make that difficult and the fermentation can "stick" with some unfermented sugar in the wine. Our 2004 Pinot blanc would not fully complete alcoholic fermentation. The amount of residual sugar was small and I decided to bottle it without further manipulation. This small amount of residual sugar acts to increase the perception of fruitiness. The actual residual is 0.69%. Many Alsacian wines are bottled with some residual sugar; the exact amounts varies with the vintage.
