Vineyard

Mediterranean

Sun worshiping, open armed lyre trellised vines, ensure maximum fruit ripeness. Oak leaf and weathered granite soils ensure these vines are planted in earth rich in organic matter.

Vinification

Grapes are picked cool between 21 and 22 degree 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. Thereafter, fermentation in stainless steel tanks takes place at low temperatures with the wine being stirred on the lees for two months. The wine is finally blended and bottled for early consumption. Pasteurized in the juice stage of production, this wine is prepared under supervision of the Cape Town Beth Din. It is Mevushal and Kosher for Passover.
