More Information

In the cellar

Handpicked grapes were transported to the cellar for immediate processing. Light whole bunch pressing of the grapes ensured for optimal flavour extraction & light colour extraction. The juice was left to settle for 24 hours & racked to stainless steel tanks. Cold alcoholic fermentation ensured the preservation of the wine’s floral and stone fruit aromatics. Post fermentation stirring of the lees for 3 months, added great mouthfeel to this wine
