Producentens noter (engelsk): Om vinen: This is our original Grenache Noir, made from the same vineyard since 2014, low yielding bushvines planted in the early 2000’s on granitic soils on the slopes of the Paardeberg in the Swartland Producentens noter (engelsk): Winemaking: Gentle and minimum intervention with a ‘hands-off ’ approach to show the delicate and elegant side of this grape. After hand picking in the early morning, bunches were destemmed into small fermenting tanks with 30% whole clusters. I allowed four days of cold soaking on skins for colour and avour to develop before a natural fermentation started. Punch downs were done by hand, twice a day, resulting in gentle extraction, preserving the grape’s natural character. After a slow and steady fermentation, an additional post-fermentation maceration of 10 days was allowed to extract the ner, softer tannins. After a total of 4 weeks on the skins, grapes were gently pressed with an old basket press into old Foudre for malolactic fermentation and maturation. Total time in Foudre: 12 months. No ning. Bottled in August 2025. fi fl fi fi fl
