de Krans, Premium Moscato Rose Perle, Western Cape 2025
Winemaking
The grapes are harvested early in the morning to ensure cool temperatures. After the grapes are destemmed and crushed and pumped into a separating tank where the juice and skins are separated.
The juice then flows by gravity into a settling tank and is settled out overnight. Clear juice is racked into fermentation tanks the next morning, and fermentation
is started by adding selected yeast. The juice is fermented at 14 degrees C until dry, whereafter Muscadel juice is added to sweeten and CO2 for perlé just before bottling.
