In the cellar
All the grapes are handpicked in bins. The whole bunches are gently pressed in a pneumatic press to collect the purest juice, named cuvée. After two days of settling, the juice is fermented in stainless steel tanks at about 15-17°C, with specially selected yeast strains. No malolactic fermentation is done to preserve the freshness of the wine.
In the vineyard
This selected Pinot Noir block was planted in 2008 in a North South row direction on deep, well-drained soil. The soil is mainly weathered Cape granite and sandstone. Clone 52 gives us an array of fresh red berry fruit. We pick the Pinot Noir a little bit riper to capture the essence of the red fruit. Grapes were picked on the 28th of January 2022 at 19.8°B.
