Yeast

The base wine is then transferred to old oak barrels, only filled to two thirds capacity. We then seed the wine with the flor yeast, which is allowed to grow on the upper surface of the wine. This creates a white film on the top of the wine, which consumes oxygen and produces aldehyde and carbon dioxide, thus protecting the wine below. It is this flor yeast which gives the wine the distinctive appley character and wonderful texture on the palate. Our Seriously Fine may be matured on flor yeast for 5 – 8 years. The wine is then taken off flor, blended and returned to barrel (full), until final blending and clarification prior to bottling.

95/100 Halliday Wine Companion 2024

“An exotic, aromatic feast for the senses, Seriously Fine Pale Dry Apera brings bitter almond, sea spray and green olive salty savouriness – bitey, dry and delicious – with citrus and green apple. So fresh, so salty and tangy mineral clean. Chill it down and watch it rise to the occasion as a stunning aperitif”. – Jeni Port February, 2024

 

92/100 Halliday Wine Companion 2024

“Crushed rocks, fennel, preserved lemon and herbal wafts on the nose. The palate is ultra savoury and rounded, on the finish a wave of drying phenolics harnesses the fruit and alcohol, brings balance and awakens the gastric juices. A lovely bone-dry aperitif—if we were in Spain we’d call it a fino”. – Gabrielle Poy, February 2024

Fruit Sourcing

The Pfeiffer Seriously Fine is a delicate, dry, crisp, pale dry apera. It is fresh and lifted, with crunchy green apples and hints of citrus peel. The secret to this style is the layer of flor yeast which grows on the wine’s surface when it’s in barrel. This flor yeast consumes any oxygen present, which helps retain the wine’s pristine colour, freshness, and distinctive flavour.

Seriously Fine is delicious served straight from the fridge – cold and crisp….seriously, the perfect way to relax and unwind.

Enjoy Seriously Fine with olives, smoked almonds, salty seafood, croquettes, Manchego cheese or beetroot chips. Sushi and sashimi are also excellent accompaniments to Seriously Fine. Seriously Fine is seriously good with chocolate chilli truffles….try it!!
