TRANSCRIPT
Every year craft winemakers explore new adventures through illustrious tales capturing the essence of our
unique wines through our Restricted Quantities Premium Collection.
We invite you to create, celebrate and share these wines with your
family and friends.
The year 2020 marks Restricted
Quantities’ 20th anniversary of craft
winemaking in the luxuriously fabulous
style of the 1920‘s. At the height of the
second industrial revolution, the ‘20’s
were roaring. Motorized vehicles,
fabulous parties, luxurious clothes—the
champagne, spirits and wines were
flowing.
We invite our craft winemakers to join us in
celebrating 20 years of wine with five new
premium collectable wines. Aptly named after a
popular 1920’s common phrases, and not to out-
do one another, each phrase carries a common
meaning of being “the best of the best”.

grapes utilized in the production of premium white wines.

Yeasts in RQ2020 Kits
French Oak
Wine is aged together with wood to enhance
the flavour, aroma and complexity of the wine
through the extraction of the substances from
the wood into the wine.
When compared to American oak, French oak
imparts more subtle flavours and firmer, but
silkier tannins which is ideal for lighter wines.
French oak contributes flavours such as cigar
box, cinnamon, and coffee.
American Oak
American oak is used by many winemakers for
the aromatic sweetness it contributes to the
wine.
On the palate, American oak provides a tannin
structure that accentuates the fruit on the mid
palate. While on the nose, it will contribute
aromas of vanilla, coconut, dill and moca.
Dried Grape Skins
The GenuWine Winery Grape Skins included in our three
red wine kits are made through a patented process of gently
drying crushed whole grape skins to retain original colour
and nutritional integrity. The skins are processed to
maximize colour and flavour extractions so that all their
goodness can be extracted in a five or six day fermentation
period.
Grape skins will add smooth tannins, robust colour, and rich
aromas to your red wines, making them more complex and
fuller-bodied. These bigger, bolder red wines will drink well
while young, but the goodness from the skins will also
continue to enhance the flavour of the wine when aged.
