More Information

In the cellar

The juice of the grapes was barrel-fermented in a selection of 228 litre Burgundy-shaped French oak barrels (39% new, 43% second-fill and 18% third fill Nevers and Burgundian oak barrels). The wine was then matured “sur lie” in the barrel for nine months with occasional rolling of the barrels to accentuate the leesy character. 8% tank-fermented Chardonnay was blended with the barrel-wine to ensure well-balanced citrus flavours. Both the tank and barrel-fermented Chardonnay underwent malolactic fermentation.

In the vineyard

The distinct ravine in the Stellenbosch Kloof ward allows the opportunity to harness the cooling influences from the False Bay on our south and east facing slopes. This captures the intense flavour compounds found in the grape skins. The grapes were harvested from the 24th of February to the 22th of March 2022 at an average of 21.3°B.

Ageing

Nine months

Cultivar

Chardonnay

Food Pairing
