in the vineyard : The grapes for the Chenin Blanc come from single vineyard on the wine farm of Ernst & Co in Muldersvlei, Stellenbosch. The vineyard is older then twenty years and cultivated in dry land (no irrigation). A low yield of 8 tons per hectare ensured prominent fruit flavours.
about the harvest: The grapes were harvested at 21 degrees Balling and the juice portrayed the natural terroir of the grapes because flavour instead of chemical analysis was the decisive factor.
in the cellar : The wines were fermented cold with yeast strains specifically selected for the variety. It stayed on the lees for three months before tartrate stabilisation took place and the wine was gently filtered only when bottled, thus the very natural fruit flavours.
