Headlands Cove White Zinfandel 2019

Winemaking

The grapes are harvested and bought to the winery and gently crushed and destemmed and pumped to drainer tanks. After a period of approximately 5 hours, the juice is drained off from the skins. This is called Saingnee. This juice is then clarified and then sent to Stainless steel fermentation tanks. Where the wines are carefully temperature controlled to retain the flavours of strawberry and fresh sweet cherry. Fermentation takes place using specially selected yeast strains to retain the fruit characters of the grape keeping the wine fresh and zesty.
