IN THE VINEYARD These 5 year old vineyards superbly situated on Vansha Farm in Northern Agter-Paarl fully complement the attention to detail that has been given by a dedicated team headed by Jerry Parker and superbly by Paul Wallace Viticultural Consultant. THE HARVEST Grapes were handpicked in February . Bunches were healthy and harvested at optimal vine and seed ripeness. IN THE CELLAR Destemming with no crushing. Wholeberry component of 80% in fermenter. Fermented in stainless steel fermenters at 26-30ºC. Pumpovers were applied twice daily to extract flavour and tannins for structure. Mash was pressed immediately after primary fermentation was completed. Wine was gravity fed to barriques for secondary or Malo-lactic fermentation. Wine was matured in 60% new French oak for 12 months. (6 x 75 cl)
