Viticulture
The distinct ravine in the Stellenbosch Kloof ward allows the opportunity to harness the cooling influences from the False Bay on our south and east-facing slopes. This captures the intense flavour compounds found in the grape skins.
Vinification
After cold settling for two days, the juice was tank-fermented with a selection of French yeasts (EC1118 and D47). After fermentation, the wine spent 4 months “sur lie” in the tank with occasional lees stirring to accentuate the leesy character.
