about the harvest: The Chenin Blanc and Sauvignon Blanc were harvested between 18° - 19°Balling. The Chardonnay was harvested riper at 22° balling.

in the cellar : Fermented in stainless steel tank between 13° - 15° C. The Chardonnay component was given more time on primary fermentation lees which adds to the slightly roundish mouth feel, complemented by the fresh fruit characters and natural acidity from the Chenin Blanc and Sauvignon Blanc components. Unwooded.
