in the cellar : Tropical Paarl Sauvignon Blanc and low yielding Swartland bush vine Chenin Blanc were hand chosen and reductively handled from crush to bottling. Expressive Paarl Viognier was fermented and matured in oak for 4 months and then blended with the other two components to add complexity and depth to the wine.

Fermentation in stainless steel for Chenin lasted 18 days at 14° C whilst Sauvignon Blanc fermented for 20 days at 12° C. Viognier was fermented without commercial yeast for 8 days at 20° C.

Wines were blended and lightly filtered prior to bottling.
