Most of the white wines made at Schild Estate are vinified without any exposure to oak, thus the fruit is harvested at the last possible moment before transport to the winery. This practice reduces the possibility of emparting harsh phenolics into the freshly pressed juice. A combination of neutral yeast selection and fermentations in temperature controlled vessels are employed to maintain the fine aromatics and depth of flavour in the Frontignac grapes. Immediately after fermentation is completed, the wines are prepared for bottling to capture the vivid fruit characters. The whole process from vineyard to bottle is completed within six weeks to retain the freshest characteristics.
