WINEMAKING NOTES
Only made in select vintages, 2019 turned into a perfect icewine harvest at 13th Street. Following the pressing of the juice for icewine, the frozen grapes were allowed to slightly warm resulting in the perfect juice for Late Harvest Riesling. After pressing, the must was transferred to stainless steel tanks for fermentation. At 86 grams/litre of residual sugar remaining in the wine, the fermentation was stopped leaving a perfect balance of acidity and sweetness. After a further 6 months in tank, the wine was bottled in February 2021.
