in the vineyard : Background:
Taking its name from one of the early peoples at the Cape, these are down to earth, adventurous wines expressing their true varietal character and rich, ethnic charm. Palate pleasing with a sense of fun as depicted by the bright yellow ostrich with its remarkable long neck, these wines are a tribute to the intrepid OBiKWA people for whom the ostrich represents a life force and trusted companion. This wine is made in the Adam Tas cellars in Stellenbosch.

The Vineyards: (Viticulturist: Annelie Viljoen)
The grapes were sourced from vineyards planted in the Western Cape. The vineyards differ with regard to altitudes, aspects and slopes. This enables us to use the different building blocks to blend the perfect bubbly, comprising diverse flavours and aromas.

about the harvest: The Chenin Blanc grapes were harvested by hand at 21° - 23° Balling.

in the cellar : In the cellar the juice had no skin contact and was fermented at 13° - 15° C for 12 days. After fermentation, the sparkle was created by impregnating the wine with CO2.
