Winemaking

The cooled grapes are pressed using reductive measures. 15% the settled juice is then fermented and matured in new Burgundian oak for 6 months.

Tasting Notes

Pale gold. The lively combination of oak and bright fruits exhibits aromas of butterscotch, pear and brioche. An ideal aperitif.

Special Notes

In 2000 the family acquired a vineyard in the Upper Hemel-en-Aarde Valley which would supplement their offering with cool climate grapes. Here the vineyards are planted between fields of indigenous ‘fynbos’ and in close proximity to the sea.

Ideal soil types combine with cooling sea breezes to create terroir rivalling the world’s best; and resulting in wines with minerality, elegance, vivacity and finesse.
