In the Vineyard
The grapes are from trellised vineyards that produce between 10-12 ton/ha. The grapes were handpicked at optimal ripeness with 22-24°B sugar. In the Cellar Grapes were destemmed and pump to static drainers. Only the free run juice was used. After settling the juice was fermented in 2nd fill French Oak barrels. No malolactic was done in order to preserve the freshness. The wine was matured for 9 months in barrels before bottling.
Tasting Notes
This wine with it’s yellow straw colour has tropical fruit flavoures from the Chenin Blanc, the citrus from the Chardonnay as well as the nuty, spaice and lemon zest from the Marsanne. Rich and creamy on the aftertaste with a layered and complex finish. Spend 8 months in French oak to complete this amazing award winning wine. The 50% Chenin Blanc, 25% Chardonnay and 25% Marsanne makes this a well-balanced wine with well integrated wood flavours.
