Producentens noter (engelsk): Om vinen: Grenache Blanc is at home in South Africa and working with vineyards planted on optimal sites makes it a great pleasure to grow and farm them. The fruit is sourced from five vineyards planted on granite and schist soils in the Paardeberg, Voor-Paardeberg, Paarl, Riebeekberg and Stellenbosch. The grapes from the different vineyards are made separately and great care and careful planning goes into deciding the optimal picking dates for the different sites and regions. Grapes were treated gently to preserve the pure and beautiful character of Grenache Blanc. Producentens noter (engelsk): Winemaking: The grapes were cold soaked on skins for 1 to 2 days to create extra texture, tannin and a more layered mouthfeel, but not fermented on skins to preserve the freshness and pure character of the vineyards. Grapes were pressed gently with our Vaslin basket press, followed by a 24-hour settling period before racking to older French oak barrels. Here, a natural fermentation was allowed and wine spent a total of 10 months on gross lees. No fining. Bottled January 2024.
