R160,00
Light yellow in colour with hints of lime green, the nose shows intense black currant and gooseberry aromas with complex hints of tropical, citrus blossom and green fig. On the palate it has a rich and mouth filling entry, a creamy texture from the natural acidity and lees contact, and a lingering textured finish.

Specifications
In the cellar
The grapes were crushed and destemmed. Skin contact of 6 hrs was given. The juice was then pressed and cold settled for 2 days at 8 C. It was inoculated with a terroir selected yeast strain. After fermentation the wine was left on the fine lees for 6 months upon which it was clarified for bottling. 5% barrel fermented wine was added to improve the mouthfeel.
In the vineyard
The 3.2 ha Block A16/15 is situated on a steeply terraced south facing slope. The scion clone is Clone 11 (Weerstasie) known for acid retention and expression of greener flavours. The elevation is 300-400m. This provides for moderate temperatures resulting in late but slow ripening of fruit. The soils are made up of leached, decomposed granite and sandstone. Gravel in the upper layers provides for good drainage in wet seasons and clay in the subsoil provides moisture retention in dry ones. Vineyards are trained on a 7-wire hedge and cane pruned by hand. Average yield is 8-10tons/ha.
