Vineyard
100% Chenin Blanc grapes are predominantly sourced from trellised vineyards in the upper slopes of Fairview farm in Paarl Mountain.
Vinification
On arrival to the cellar the grapes were gently crushed and destemmed. Before fermentation, the juice settled for 2 days in stainless steel tanks and racked off the lees and inoculated with yeast for fermentation. Fermentation lasted for 3 weeks in cold stainless tanks.
Residual sugar 2.9 g/l Total acid 6.5 g/l pH 3.38
Aging
After fermentation, the wine matured on the fine lees for 4 months prior to bottling.
