More Information

In the cellar

Handpicked grapes were transported to the cellar were the winemaking process commenced. Grapes from the different blocks were separately destemmed and whole berry fermented in stainless-steel tanks and French oak casks. Twice daily pump-overs ensured the delicate extraction of tannins. The total time on the skins were 21 days before pressing. Malo-lactic fermentation and maturation followed in 300L French oak barrels for 12months. 23% new oak incorporated.

In the vineyard

Grapes originated from 3 vineyard blocks on our farm: one block on high potential Tukulu soil (planted at 2,5m x 1,4m wide) and the other two blocks on poorer Klapmuts soil (planted at 1,8m x 1.0m), all with Vertical Shoot Positioning (VSP) trellis systems. Malbec clones MC26 and MC71 were used and all blocks are under dripirrigation. Annual yield is between 7 and 10 tons/ha.

Ageing

This wine will benefit from cellaring and can be aged for a further 20 years.

Cultivar

Food Pairing
