Grape Variety or Ingredients     

66% Aki Queen, 29% Muscat Bailey A, 5%Other

Winemaking     

Made mainly from 11-23 year-old Aki Queen and Muscat Bailey A vines planted on south-west facing slopes on a limestone karst plateau at 400 metres altitude. The Aki Queen and MBA were each put into separate stainless steel tanks in whole bunches and they underwent carbonic maceration for 2-3 months. The wine was then bottled, degorged and matured for approximately three months before release. This is a sister wine to the popular Perlant Rosé 2020, the fastest selling wine we imported in 2022. It has a longer period of carbonic maceration than the sister wine to emphasise the tropical aromas, and is made with a more natural structure in mind.
