Wine Preparation
1. Harvesting Grapes
Harvest Aligoté and Chardonnay grapes when they are ripe, ensuring they are clean and free from any rot or pests.
2. Crushing and Pressing
Crush the grapes and press them to extract the juice. You can use a manual or mechanical grape press.
3. Fermentation
Transfer the grape juice to a fermentation vessel. Add wine yeast to the juice and allow it to ferment for approximately 2-3 weeks at a controlled temperature of 15-20°C (59-68°F).
4. Racking
Once fermentation is complete, rack the wine into another clean vessel, leaving sediment behind. This helps clarify the wine.
5. Aging
Age the wine in stainless steel tanks for 3-6 months to develop its flavors and characteristics.
6. Bottling
Once the aging process is complete, add sulfur dioxide for preservation and bottle the wine. Seal with corks.
Tasting Preparation
7. Preparing the Tasting Mixture
In a small bowl, mix fresh lemon zest, honey, and olive oil together until well combined. This mixture will enhance the tasting experience.
8. Seasoning
Season the mixture with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Adjust the flavors to your preference.
9. Serving
Serve the wine chilled in wine glasses alongside the tasting mixture for a delightful pairing.
