Once. seasonal summer wine, our Peach Blossom has become an integral part to the HRW success story. Light, Sweet, and easy to drink, our peach blossom is the definition of fun in the summer sun. Our production of fruit wines is well known and respected in the region. We use raw white peach juice. This juice goes through a standard yeaster fermentation in stainless steel tanks. The wine is fermented “dry” (no fermentable sugars remaining). Once it is done fermented it is left to rest for a couple weeks while the residual yeast cells drop out and the wine begins to clarify. Our base peach wine is very acidic. This high level of acidity allows us to add sweetness back to the wine without throwing the wine out of balance. Too much sugar and the wine becomes overly thick and furry, while too little sugar leaves the wine overly tart contributing to an overall unpleasant drinking experience. Peach wine is extremely fruity, but does lack overall aromatics in the form of floral characters. However, we incorporate a small amount of traminette. Traminette wines are vibrant and expressive and add the floral notes that the base peach wine is missing. This small amount of grape wine does not dull the overall peach note and rounds out the flavor profile of the wine.
