in the cellar :

Tropical Paarl Sauvignon Blanc and low yielding Riebeek Kasteel bush vine Chenin Blanc were hand selected and reductively handled from crush to bottling. Expressive Paarl Viognier was fermented and matured in French 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 Blanc lasted 21 days at 15ºC whilst Sauvignon Blanc fermented for 24 days at 15ºC. Viognier was allowed to ferment naturally for 3° Balling and was then inoculated with a commercial yeast strain to ensure a clean and complete ferment. Fermentation lasted for 8 days at 19° C.

Wines were blended and lightly filtered prior to bottling.
