Sonatina 2007 (A sonatina is literally a small sonata. As a musical term, sonatina has no single strict definition; it is rather a title applied by the composer to a piece that is in basic sonata form, but is shorter, lighter in character, or more elementary technically than a typical sonata.*) Moscatel de Alexandra blended with a touch of Chardonnay (20%). The vintage was a difficult one for the Moscatel variety as the rainfall from mid-August (which did not want to stop) caused a lot of rot on the bunches. We searched long and hard to find a block of grapes that could give us acceptable quality and even when we found them, the grapes had to be carefully hand-sorted to check for any offending berries. The end-result is a smaller than usual quantity of our ever-popular dry, white wine. Aromas of melons and lemon zest, a crisp and fruity wine. The chardonnay brings a creaminess and long smooth finish on the palette. ANALYSIS Alc. 12,5%, TA 6.3 g/l, RS <2 g/l * Source: Wikipedia
