Winemaking

The fruit was harvested during the evening at low temperature. This helps to preserve primary fruit flavours. This wine was fermented in high tech, stainless steel tanks at 11˚C. Low temperature fermentation is essential to retain as much primary fruit lift and colour as possible; a necessary strategy for this sweet red. Our Wild Bouquet Sweetheart is a blend of Moscato with Cabernet Sauvignon. We halt the fermentation process of the Moscato half way to ensure original fruit sugars are retained and blend into the Cabernet. We use a distinctive yeast strain for this wine: QA23. This is a Portugese strain that is especially suited to the fermentation of fresh, fruity wines.
