After early harvest the fruit was pressed before the juice was pumped into tank for fermentation. Yeasts specially selected to add texture and aromatics were used to prompt the ferment. During fermentation sugars are converted to alcohol and as this fruit was picked when it was naturally lower in sugar it created a wine with a lower alcohol. Winemakers stopped the ferment at the precise time the balance of flavour and classic Marlborough acidity was achieved, creating a full-flavoured lighter in alcohol wine.
