Description
All grapes are hand harvested, destemmed and crushed. Some batches will be cooled overnight for a pre-cold maceration. We use only natural fermentation, and no finings are used at all. Fermentation and maceration can last from 5 - 30 days. Traditional small open top fermentation tanks are used for extraction as well as alcohol fermentation. The wine will be aged for a minimum of 12 months in small French oak barrels, before blending and bottling. Deep ruby. This classic blend of noble varieties, crafted from dry land low yielding organic vineyards in Stellenbosch.
