Winemaking
The Flying Change White Single Serve was a very small batch that we harvested from 2 different vineyards when the flavours were fully developed and the acidity was just right. We hand harvested to protect the integrity of the fruit and whole cluster pressed in our gentle bladder press. We then cold settled after pressing and racked the Pinot Gris to a neutral oak barrel for primary fermentation to preserve the fruit aromatics while adding texture. The remaining 50% of the blend is Pinot Blanc which was fermented and aged in stainless steel. Primary fermentation finished and we allowed partial secondary, malolactic fermentation to add texture and complexity during this time. In February wine was barreled-up, and blended with the stainless steel Pinot Blanc. After ageing, this wine was protein stabilized, cold stabilized and filtered before bottling.
