Australian Fresco
FRESH GRAPE MUST FROM THE STATE OF NEW SOUTH WALES, IN AUSTRALIA
Fresh Grape Must are sourced from the inland vineyards in Riverland, Murray Darling or Riverina regions, in the state of New South Wales, Australia.
The climate is warm with generally low rainfall making irrigation from the Murray River system essential. The climate is one of the strengths of the region because it is continental. The long sunny days ensure the full ripening of the fruit, the cooler nights develop aromas with natural acid retention and low relative humidity leads to a low incidence of disease. The grapes are harvested in the cool of the night and processed in our modern high-tech winery. On selected varietals a 23 litre pail is supplied with the right balance of oak chips and the level of toast as well as the quantity have been matched to each individual fresh grape must.
