Viticulture
The vines are trellised and receive supplementary irrigation. Production varies between 8 – 10 tons/ha.
Terroir
The soils are made from decomposed granite and the minerality of the final wines is a direct result of this soil type.
Vineyard
The Sauvignon Blanc grapes are planted at the foothills of the Paarl Mountain which is the second largest granite outcrop in the world. The soils are made from decomposed granite and the minerality of the final wines is a direct result of this soil type. This background off different micro climates, together with cool harvesting, slow and cool fermentation creates a wine with concentrated fruit flavors as well as minerality.
Vinification
Only high quality grapes are used which are de-stemmed, chilled and kept on their skins for 16 hours before inoculation. After a light pressing, the juice is settled and only the free-run portion is cold fermented. After fermenting dry, the wine is left on the lees for six weeks to develop extra complexity and aromas. A small portion of press juice blended back for complexity & body.
