in the cellar : The grapes for our Ansela were all hand harvested, crushed, destalked and fermented in a combination of classic open fermenters as well as stainless steel tanks. Malolactic fermentation was done in French oak, (225l) barrels. (30% new oak). Ansela van de Caab 2004 is a blend of selected Merlot (50%), Cabernet Sauvignon (30%) and Cabernet Franc (20%). The blend is made up after each respective variety has matured for 12 months in oak. Once the blend has been made, the wine is re-introduced into French oak for a further 4 months to ensure that a good marriage takes place. The wine is bottled unfiltered to ensure minimal intervention.
