AWARDS
John Platter: 4 Stars

ageing : Now to 2014.
in the vineyard : The Kalkveld single vineyard lies on the southern slope of the Hill of Enon, a magical hill that dominates the centre of Zandvliet itself. This hill, so-named after the complex conglomerate of limestone, pebbles and clay - the Enon Formation - is brushed daily by the southeasterly breeze cooling the vineyard. The unique terroir gives the wine its singular mineral footprint.

Terroir Slope: South.
Soil: Kalkveld, rocky, chalk rich.
Climate: Moderate summer, with low night temperatures, cold winter.
Wind: Cool south-easterly (summer).
in the cellar : Oenology: Soaked on cold skins for up to 24 hours. Juice withdrawn and skins lightly pressed. Decanted into barrels directly after yeast inoculation. Batonage for duration of barrel maturation.
