Winemaking Notes
High-elevation slopes in the Heldberg region with cooling False Bay sea breezes. Grapes are picked cool between 21 and 22 degrees Balling. Some time spent on the skins allows for the extraction of fresh varietal aromas and flavours. A few days of settling yields a clear juice. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at low temperatures. While in tank, the wine is stirred on the lees for two months after finally being blended and bottled.
