Jupiter (Seedless Table Grape)


Jupiter is our favorite seedless table grape. It has a flowery muscat like aroma. Think ruby red grapefruit and elderflower. The grapes are picked at peak maturity for maximum flavor development. Once harvested they only last a few weeks in the refrigerator.  To enjoy this wonderful aroma year-round we decided to use a portion of the harvest to produce a sparkling wine.  The grapes were de-stemmed and fermented with skins for 48 hours before pressing. Fermentation continued in stainless steel tanks prior to bottling with 10 g/L sugar remaining on September 30, 2020. The remaining sugar was fermented in bottle and then riddled and disgorged resulting in a beautiful dry sparkling wine.  This wine is relatively low in acid and is bursting with fruity-floral aroma making this wine soft and fruity without the need for added sugars.  This wine was produced with no added yeast, sulfite, fining or filtration.
