Vineyard

Conti's Fronti as it has been affectionately known for many years is made from established vines located in the Perth Hills region of WA. The vineyard is grown on beautiful red-loam country and enjoys warm days and cooler nights.

Harvest
Fruit was entirely hand-harvested in the cool of the morning in mid-March 2010.

Winemaking

The Fronti is a particularly challenging wine to make. Created entirely from free-run juice, fruit is crushed and drained without any pressings in the blend. It is chilled, cold-settled and fermented at low temperatures when the desired balance between sweetness and acidity is achieved. Immediately following, the wine is racked, fine-filtered and bottled early to retain natural effervescence. This result is a very delicate wine with good fruit intensity.

Nose
The bouquet is highlighted by rose petal, floral and musk aromas. 

Palate
A fresh, juicy and slippery palate is balanced by crisp acidity.

Food
Poured chilled, this wine is ideally served as a refreshing aperitif with prosciutto ham and melon, or as an accompaniment with summer fruits, light desserts or hot/spicy Asian dishes such as Thai fish cakes with sweet chilli sauce.
