The wines used to produce ARIEL Blanc are fermented very cold (40-45F, 4-7C) in stainless steel cooperage. Some of the fermentations are arrested by chilling the wine to 30F (-1C) once the desired alcohol and sugar levels are achieved. Just prior to bottling, the alcohol is gently removed by cold filtration.
ARIEL Blanc is a premium blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay, with less than one half of one- percent alcohol. Vineyards are selected based on their emphasis on floral, aromatic fruit character. ARIEL Blanc retains all the natural and delicate flavor of the grapes by removing the alcohol through our own unique and patented method of cold filtration.
