about the harvest: Harvest date: February - March 2013
Yield: 4.6 Ton/Ha
in the cellar : This wine is made up of a series of Sauvignon Blanc building blocks from different sites on Steenberg - harvested at different ripeness levels. Each block yields unique characteristics ranging from flinty, grassy, green pepper to gooseberry and ripe tropical flavours. 2013 sees another couple of young vineyards coming into full production, adding more layers to this amazing wine. The grapes were machine harvested in the cool early mornings to retain the delicate flavours. Skin maceration occurred after crushing from 8 - 24 hours at 10° C. The juice settled overnight after which it was racked off clean, inoculated with yeast and allowed to ferment for up to 30 days at 13°C. Post fermentation the wine lay on fine lees for 90 days until blending, stabilizing and bottling in August 2013.
