VINIFICATION
Chenin Blanc from 33 year old vines, hand harvested and whole bunch pressed, then fermented in large French oak barrels and matured in barrel for 11 months. The Viognier comes from vineyards situated on high slopes of the Franschhoek mountains and is whole bunch pressed and aged in new and older French Oak bariques for 11 months. The Chardonnay component comes from the Robertsvlei Valley in Franschhoek with a notably colder ripening temperature that protects the beautiful natural acidity of Chardonnay, the grapes are hand harvested and whole bunch pressed with a gentle champagne method, the wine is barrel fermented and aged in 500l French oak. Perfectly blended to create a sublime blend of classic varieties.
