THE VINEYARD

Our Bordeaux inspired Sauvignon Blanc, with lower acidity and some light barrel aging. Comes from a unique south facing mountain side vineyard in Stellenbosch. The Stellenbosch district including rocks of the Cape Granite Suite, the Malmesbury shale Group, the Table Mountain Sandstone Group and recent unconsolidated sediments of Quaternary age. This site offers weather granite soils and cooling ocean breezes. Giving us well structured fruit.

IN THE CELLAR

From the vineyard to the cellar the grapes go through various selection processes to ensure we get only the best fruit. Hand harvested into small lug boxes and transported to the cellar. Cold maceration on the skins for 8 hours prior to pressing. We then barrel ferment 5% of the wine in new 400L French oak barrels, for 6 months on gross lees. Then 95% is fermented in stainless steel tanks. We allow extended lees contact, which we believe assists with mouth feel and longevity in the wine. With the tank fermentation we allow 30 days on the gross lees and a further 3 months on the fine lees.
