Winemaking Notes
All vineyards are sustainable farmed to ensure best quality grapes. The grapes are hand-picked in early February with the ripeness of 23 to 24 Balling. Each bunch is pre-chilled before being destemmed and berry sorted. The berries are not crushed but are fermented whole. This allows for a gradual extraction of tannins and colour, which promotes finesse, balance, and longevity. The berries are fermented in open-top fermenters, which provide easy access for the winemaker to assess and manipulate the fermentation. During fermentation the tanks were only punched down twice per day to prevent over extraction of tannins. At 6 balling the tanks were pressed with a basket press and the wine finished fermentation in stainless steel tanks. Malolactic fermentation also took place in stainless steel tanks. Wine was tank matured for 5 months before prepared for bottling. Wine was bottled unwooded to keep the focus on the fruit aromatics of this cultivar.

R80.00The wine shows delicate flavours of ripe cherries, olives and peppery spice as well as a hint of Turkish Delight. Despite its delicacy, the palate is firm and concentrated with fine dry tannins. An extremely versatile food wine that compliments everything from shellfish to white meats and on to aged cheeses.
