Specifications
In the cellar
The grapes are hand- harvested at optimal ripeness. They are then destalked, crushed and fermented for 7 days on their skins in open fermenting tanks. The average fermentation temperature is 25-30° C. After fermentation, the skins are pressed in traditional basket presses. The free run and pressed juices are combined and malolactic fermentation spontaneously takes place in the tank.
In the vineyard
Mediterranean - summers are warm and dry, whilst sea breezes from the nearby False Bay cool the vineyards in the afternoons. The winters are wet and cold with a high average rainfall.
Ageing
Now the wine is racked and goes into 225l oak barrels (100% French) for 12 months. The wine is only lightly filtered to ensure high quality aspirations are maintained.
