Teperberg White Moscato Mevushal 2023
The White Moscato is characterized by its yellow-green tint. It is slightly bubbly, aromatic, subtly sweet, fun, and bursting with charm. The grapes arrived at the winery in the early morning after being mechanically harvested.
They are immediately gently pressed and quickly transferred to an insulated, chilled stainless steel tank. The white must is cooled to a temperature of 0°C in order to prevent fermentation and ensure that sedimentation takes place. The must spends about 36 hours in a stainless steel tank, until the sediment sinks to the bottom, and is then filtered. When the juice is clear and clean, it is transferred to a different stainless steel tank, where it undergoes a second cooling to 0°C to prevent fermentation. Three weeks before the Moscato is bottled, a controlled fermentation process begins in a pressurized tank. The temperature of the juice is raised, and it is transferred to the tank to ferment. The pressurized tank preserves the natural gas produced by the fermentation, giving the Moscato its signature light effervescence. Once the desired level of sweetness and alcohol content is reached, the fermentation is halted by chilling the wine once more. Finally, the wine is carefully filtered and bottled, ensuring that its fresh, fruity, and aromatic qualities are perfectly preserved.
