Product information "Vondeling Sweet Carolyn 500 ml 2017"
The Vondeling Sweet Carolyn presents itself in a glass of delicate golden amber and exudes a seductive perfume of tropical pineapple, ripe apricots, honey, orange marmalade and fragrant rose petals. These first impressions are perfectly complemented by delicate notes of fragrant orange blossom, jasmine and wild rosemary. These dreamy aromas also seamlessly assert themselves on the delicious palate, where the classic sweetness of the Muscat de Frontignan is defused and rounded off by a tangy acidity, which in turn provides a long-lasting and refreshing finish.

The grapes for this highly endowed Muscat wine come from a single vineyard planted with Muscat de Frontignan. And it is right here in the vineyard that the first step of wine production begins. When the acidity and sugar content of the berries are in perfect harmony, the stalk of each bunch of grapes is carefully pinched off to isolate it from the rest of the vine. This pinching process stops the water supply to the bunch of grapes, causing the berries to dry out on the vine and takes place before the fruit is fully ripe, when the natural acidity is still quite high. The two weeks of clamping the fruit from the vine concentrate the sugar and acidity of the berries.
The dried grapes are then picked by hand, cooled down overnight and completely destemmed the next morning, without crushing the berries. The whole berries are fermented in open fermentation tanks like red wine, with regular immersion of the cap, in order to extract the syrupy juice from the berries. This method gives the wine a great structure and the light tannins help to preserve the fruity freshness of the wine. After a week on the skin, the wine goes into the press and the juice obtained finishes fermentation in the steel tank. The wine then matured on the coarse yeast for 11 months before being bottled for final enjoyment.
