Reserve Series A blend of the finest wines made from select grapes from our finest vineyards, these are Dalton's flagship wines.
Winemaking: The grapes were picked by hand towards the end of August. After minimum skin contact the must was pressed and the free run juice allowed to settle. Alcoholic fermentation was started in stainless steel tanks. Fermentation was completed in new French oak barrels and where the kosher wine was left to mature on its gross lees, and was stirred (battonage) a regular basis. The kosher wine completed approximately 20% Malolactic fermentation.
Regular tasting by the winemaker decided when the kosher wine was ready and could be extracted from the barrels. The kosher wine was aged for approximately three months in new French barrels.
Tasting Notes: Viognier is a silky smooth kosher white wine with delicate nuances of honey, peaches and apricots. A brief period in barrels has accented those flavours with sweet notes of vanilla and caramel.
