The majority of the grapes were whole-bunch pressed with full lees to stainless-steel with about 25% of the grapes being destemmed and fermented on their skins for a month, prior to being pressed to stainless-steel.  Fermentation occurred naturally and at cooler temperatures (57°F) without any additions and after ten months of aging the components were blended to tank and settled naturally. The wines were bottled without fining or filtration, and just a very light sulfuring for stability.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis wine is beautifully fresh and pure, with notes of pear and apples on the nose. It is pleasantly silky and textured on the palate, with a great acid backbone and minerality on the finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e**Case contains 5 bottles**\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mother Rock","offers":[{"title":"1","offer_id":39640842961070,"sku":null,"price":25.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5","offer_id":48393674785000,"sku":"956663","price":129.75,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0538\/0341\/7774\/products\/Force_Celeste_Chenin_Blanc-Mother_Rock.png?v=1717730691","url":"https:\/\/www.thelivingvine.ca\/products\/force-celeste-chenin-blanc","provider":"The Living Vine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
