In the vineyard

Winter rainfall in 2020 resulted in good soil water levels available for the vines. A late and prolonged winter season led to late flowering; furthermore, Stellenbosch has consistently experienced cooler weather conditions throughout the season. Some rain during the spring and early summer months required meticulous management of the vineyard to prevent fungal diseases. Relatively cool conditions in December and January led to slow, gradual ripening, with exceptional aromatic concentration in the grapes, good acidity and low pH levels.

In the cellar

Le uve sono state tutte raccolte a mano da blocchi di vigneti accuratamente scelti e pigiate separatamente per ottimizzare le possibilità di assemblaggio di questo vino sudafricano. Le uve di Chenin Blanc e Pinotage sono state sottoposte a pigiatura, con il mosto prontamente separato dalle bucce dopo una pressatura molto delicata. Il succo ottenuto era eccezionalmente limpido e quindi è stato inoculato con un ceppo di lievito appositamente selezionato. La fermentazione è avvenuta a temperature comprese tra i 12°C e i 14°C, assicurando una fermentazione lenta che ha esaltato i sapori della frutta.
