in the vineyard : Lemberg's soils have produced another Estate Wine under the watchful eye of proprietor, Henk du Bruyn. The first single cultivar Pinot noir was inspired from a single vineyard planted in the early 1990's.
Soil type: Alluvial sand on layers of clay.
in the cellar : Our grapes were prechilled to 4°C before being destemmed and hand sorted on sorting tables. The grapes were cold soaked for 48 hours prior to fermentation. After partially natural fermentation, only the best quality free run juice was drained to barrels where malolactic fermentation was done. The wine aged for 12 months in old 500 litre French oak barrels as well as in 2nd and 3rd fill French 225 litre barrels.
Total Production
200 wooden cases of 6
Our Pinot noir is bottled in recycled bottles and labelled with tree-free paper, corked with a natural cork and sealed off with natural wax. Ultimately our Pinot noir is boxed in a wooden Lemberg box, giving our Pinot noir the natural feel it deserves. Everything inside, including the box, is 100% recyclable.
Thank you very much for investing in our Pinot noir 2011, we hope you will enjoy every moment of it.
