Quails' Gate Estate Winery Botrytis Affected Optima

  • Grapes: Optima
  • Certifications: VQA

Botrytis Affected Optima grapes were foot-stomped in the picking bins to get the juice in contact with the skins prior to pressing. The soft skinned grapes were thoroughly dehydrated from ‘Botrytis cinerea’ mould. This harmless fungus pierces the grape skins causing the fruit to shrink and raisin, leaving the remaining juice naturally sweet.
