Viticulture - Fruit is sourced from neighboring properties in the northern Yallingup sub-region of Margaret River. Direct input from Forester’s viticulturist ensures well balanced canopies and crops are grown for the ripe style desired. The 2023 vintage was a mild year for white grapes in Margaret River, allowing plenty of time during February and March to ripen the fruit to our specification.
Winemaking - Modern white winemaking techniques are employed in the production of the Little Sweetie, with temperature control considered critical from the moment the fruit reaches the winery. The fruit is de stemmed and crushed, then must chilled and pressed off skins in a very short space of time. The clarified juice is then racked to a tank and a specially selected yeast used for fermentation. Fermentation is then stopped with the desired amount of sugar required for this slightly sweeter style of wine.
Storage and Bottling - Bottled under screwcap into a Riesling bottle.
