Purple Palate

Small wineries need to get creative with white wine pressings and it is no secret that pressings are always left out of the great Rieslings. I often wonder what happens to them. Do they end up in cleanskins? In the case of Poonawatta, there is so much love in growing grapes that not a drop can be wasted and with a talented winemaker, these parcels are fermented and fortified to create a dessert wine with extraordinary finesse. - SG
