VINTAGE
This wine is a blend of more than one vintage to better achieve a consistency of the Crittenden family's desired Prosecco style.
WINEMAKING
Produced from 100% Glera (the traditional variety for making Prosecco), the grapes were harvested in the cool of night before being transported to the winery for de-juicing and settling. The clarified juice was then fermented to 'dryness' in stainless steel tank with an aromatic yeast strain to further enhance the variety's beautiful floral notes. Once the ferment was complete the finished base wine was chilled and lightly sulphured to inhibit the onset of malolactic fermentation. Soon after it was then blended with a small selection of base wine from other recent vintages to achieve our desired 'house style' and then filtered in readiness for bottling. Bottling was carried out via the transfer method after a modest dosage (sugar addition) of 6 grams per litre.
