80% Grenache , 20% Viognier
Origin: Wine of Origin Coastal Region from vineyards in Agter-Paarl
and Voor-Paardeberg - Paarl
In the Vineyard: The Viognier comes from 14 year old vines whilst
the Grenache vineyard is 9 years old with weathered granite and
shale soils dominant. Vines are trellised with one bunch per shoot.
Balance between growth and production is meticulous with low yields
between 7 and 9 tons per hectare. Hand harvested at an average
ripeness of 24°B.
In the Cellar: Whole bunch pressed to respect the delicate skin and
capture the best quality juice with good minerality and acidity. The
Grenache was fermented in 20% new, 40% second fill and 40%
third fill balance in unwooded barrels for 5 months, with lees contact.
Both components were wild fermented. Blended with tank fermented
Viognier and prepared for bottling.
