Introducing See Saw Minimal Intervention Skin Contact Marge, a wine crafted with meticulous care from organically certified Pinot Noir and Gamay. Sourced from our Annangrove Park and Balmoral vineyards, the Pinot Noir was hand-picked on the 8th of March 2022, and the Gamay on the 6th of April 2022. Harvesting commenced at 6.30am to ensure the grapes' freshness, which were then placed into half-tonne slotted bins and transported directly to the winery.
At the winery, the whole bunches were placed into open fermenters, initiating wild fermentation while the grapes remained intact. This process continued for 15 days, allowing carbonic maceration to impart unique flavors and complexity to the wine. After fermentation, the fruit was gently pressed into stainless steel tanks, where the lees were stirred for four months to enhance the mouthfeel. The wine was then passed through a rock filter prior to bottling, preserving its natural characteristics.
Marge presents a beautiful cloudy magenta color, with an aroma of dark cherries and plums, accented by hints of raspberry. The palate is treated to vibrant red fruits, complemented by a velvety mouthfeel. With an alcohol content of 12%, this vegan-friendly wine is the ultimate companion to Italian cuisine, perfectly pairing with pasta, pizza, or lasagna. For a delightful experience, serve Marge lightly chilled during a summer lunch
