Terra del Capo Pinot Grigio 2012

Name: Terra del Capo Pinot Grigio 2012
Brand: Terra del Capo
SKU: 32892

Tangy light peach and golden apple aromas with a waft of stone fruit and light floral hints. The palate is equally light with nectarine and peach flavour. A brush of honeysuckle richness vies with the vibrancy of freshly grated lime zest. Lovely balance of acidity and rounded honey richness which lingers long.

in the vineyard : Pinot Grigio is best suited to cool mountain slopes where it produces richly honeyed dry wines. To achieve the classic Pinot Grigio characteristics, we source grapes from many small blocks with micro-climates that are perfectly suited to the variety, one of them being our Altima property, some from Franschhoek and also from Groenekloof area.

about the harvest: This wine is produced from handpicked grapes

in the cellar : Produced from handpicked grapes and pressed immediately to avoid any colour extraction from the blue/grey grape. A slow fermentation proceeds, to allow time for the true potential of the Pinot Grigio grape to be unveiled. It is the kept on the fine lees for about 6 months then bottled.
