in the vineyard : The vines are 16-year-old vertical trellis (4-wire trellis) vines planted on a southwesterly slope, which is influenced by the cold Indian sea breeze in the afternoon. This terroir is also suitable for Sauvignon Blanc and gives you crisp fruit with a good acid balance.

about the harvest: Grapes are picked at 22Â° Balling.

in the cellar : Only the free juice is used to make this wine. We try to make a wine with an abundance of tropical fruit flavours and a hint of sweetness. Therefore the juice is cold fermented at temperature not higher than 12Â°C. After fermentation the wine is sweetened with grape concentrate to the desired sugar content.
