Vineyard Region
Western Cape Soil: Sandy/Decomposed Granite Age of vines: 9 – 11 years Altitude:100m Aspect: East-West Facing
Harvest
The fruit is hand harvested as if to produce a white wine with high natural acidity, hence no added acid in the cellar. Yield: 9 – 10 tons per hectare
In the Cellar
Crushed and pressed, leaving the skins soaking for an hour or two. This infuses the delicate copper salmon colour unique for Grenache and a cold fermentation in stainless tanks ensures an elegant wine.
Food suggestions
Serve with all light summertime meals. Should last approx half an hour with the cap off and then reach for the next bottle!
