The Chardonnay vines are grown in vertical espalier and are located in Darling and to a lesser extent in L'Ormarins and Robertson. These soils are composed of clayey shale and rich in organic matter. The Pinot Noir comes from vineyards located mainly in the L'Ormarins estate (Franschhoek), to a lesser extent in the Altima (Elandskloof), Darling and Robertson estates, all located on steep slopes at around 180 meters above sea level. The soil is in some parts decomposed granite and in others alluvial soil.
In the cellar
In the cellar
The grapes are hand-picked and pressed in whole bunches. The juices from the different pressings are kept separate. The must is left to rest on the skins and inoculated with yeasts. After fermentation, the base wine is filtered from the skins and sugars are added before the second fermentation in the bottle.
After inoculation with yeasts, the wine matures in the bottle for 2-4 years.
After this period, disgorgement takes place, during which a dosage is added (a mix of base wine and sugar, to adjust the sweetness of the wine). Further refinement follows for about 3 months before being released for sale.
