in the vineyard : Background
At the southern tip of Africa, along the brooding, craggy coastline of the southern Cape, two mighty but opposing oceans meet - the one cold, the other, warm. The impact is immense. It affects the climate, the coastline and areas inland, and the influence on the vineyards of the Western Cape is significant. The Atlantic Ocean that flows along the west coast of Africa is fed by the icy Benguela current from the South Pole. The Indian Ocean is fed by the Agulhas current coming from the tropics. Their connection, amidst crashing waves and
soaring spray, creates a unique set of conditions.
Whether along the coast or further inland, the presence of the oceans is never far away. Cooling sea breezes and mists can lower temperatures during the lead-up to the harvest, slowing down ripening. Grapes aren't hurried but develop in their own time with flavours that are balanced, intense and plentiful.
You can taste it in Two Oceans wines: fresh, delicious and full of life.

The vineyards
The grapes for this wine were sourced from selected vineyards in the Western Cape.
in the cellar : After crushing and gentle pressing, the must settled to separate the solid matter from the juice. Fermentation was carefully controlled and took place in stainless steel tanks. The naturally fruity sweetness of the grapes was preserved by halting the fermentation process. The wine was clarified and stored at very low temperatures to preserve its freshness and sweetness.
