Description

Tangy and finely textured, with zesty citrus, ripe pear and peach, a savoury herbal edge and sherbet acidity carrying the finish. The vineyard sits at 450 metres in the Klein Karoo on decomposed schist and shale, a long way east of Stellenbosch. Grapes are destemmed, left on skins for two cool nights, then basket pressed to old 225 litre French oak for a slow wild ferment to dryness. Nine months on lees in barrel, no malolactic, bottled unfined and unfiltered. Suitable for vegans.
