in the vineyard : The 2010 conditions, as challenging as they were, resulted in healthy grapes with great flavour and analysis. Winemakers are more than satisfied with the quality of the grapes that were harvested, even though the yields were down.
about the harvest: The grapes were 100% hand picked in the fresh hours of the early morning from selected vineyards on the Helshoogte Mountain, 3 days prior to the two week heat wave, to ensure freshness and consistency in style.
in the cellar : The grapes receive a 3 hour skin contact to acquire the perfect salmon pink colour. The grapes were gently pressed, fermented for almost 3 weeks at 12° C and then left on primary lees for 6 weeks post fermentation. The wine is made in same style as the Sauvignon Blanc to maintain the lovely fresh fruit characters.
