Terrasse 2024

Keermont Vineyards, producentens vinside (hentet 18. okt. 2026): 2024 Keermont Vineyards Terrasse; druer: Chenin Blanc, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Roussanne, Marsanne, Viognier; alkohol 14%. Producentens noter (engelsk): Om vinen: 295 Terrasse is our barrel fermented white blend which derives its name from the terraced vineyards leading up the mountains on the estate. We have six different white wine varieties planted on these terraces and every year we make up a unique blend depending on what the year gives us. The core component is Chenin blanc from our dryland bush vine Bobbejaan Wingerd (Baboon Vineyard), and the trellised Low Road vineyard. The other varieties add complexity to the aromas, flavour, and texture. Chardonnay gives a little more weight on the palate, Sauvignon blanc from our dryland vineyard ‘Uitkyk’ (planted in 1988) brings fresh acidity, and the drops of Roussanne, Marsanne, and Viognier give a slight spicy, aromatic lift. Small batches of grapes are selected according to ripeness, harvested by hand and vinified separately. White wines are fermented by indigenous yeast in seasoned French oak barrels and then spend a further 12 months maturing on the lees. Bottling is carried out by hand with minimal fining or filtration.
