Viticulturist’s Details

This is a blend of Chenin Blanc, Colombar, Sauvignon Blanc and Hanepoort representing a cross-section of vineyards.

Vineyard Management

Vines were pruned to two-bud spurs during July and August.  Shoots were removed during October, leaving only two to three per hand-spaced spur. As yields were naturally low, no bunch removal was necessary.

Harvest

Grapes were hand-picked in the cool early morning to help preserve fruit flavours. They were then carefully transported to the cellar in 400kg bins.

Vinification

After light pressing, the grapes were cold-fermented in stainless steel tanks at an average tempreture of 14°C, which allowed the fresh, natural frappe flavours to be captured in the wine.

Wine Maker's Tasting Notes

This is a wine with upfront fruit and hints of musk-sweet aromatics. A complex palate enriched with peach flavours, lingering with apple and pear crunchy freshness. Ready to drink now, it is an ideal choice for all occasions.
