We continue our unit on the process of wine making with a chat about Fermentation. What actually goes on in a wine to make it alcoholic, what do people mean by MLF, what even is a wild ferment? To answer all this and more we are joined by BSC: Wine Science student Cal Lee .

Wine of the Week

2024, LS Merchants ‘Butter Barrels’ Chardonnay, Margret River, Western Australia

Super ripe chardonnay, harvested from Wilyabrup in Margret River, brings bold tropical flavours into this wine. A healthy portion of new oak, lots of lees work and Malolactic Fermentation give this wine it’s butter barrels name and its rich mouth feel. Suitable to drink now, or cellar for up to 5 years. Pairs with everything.
