Moveable Feast 2018

Showing distinctive Drift Estate aromas of mulberry, blackberry and plum interwoven with garden herbs and fynbos floral notes, this wine stands for the signature of this estate.

Each vineyard was hand picked at optimal phenological ripeness, then gently destemmed to individual open top fermenters and cold soaked for 6-10 days. 15-20% whole clusters were kept. Natural fermentation lasted 5-7 days, free run was drained directly to barrel and the skins pressed using a traditional basket press after 10-14 days of post fermentation maceration. Malolactic fermentation occurred naturally in barrel. The individual batches were racked between 2 and 4 times. Each individual barrel is tasted and multiple blending trials were conducted to craft this Estate blend.
