There are currently 6 different Pinot Grigio vineyards established on four of Robertson Winery memberís farms. The vineyards are still fairly young and were planted in 2008 and 2009. Five of these vineyards grow on deep red calcareous Karoo soils with a good water holding capacity, while the other vineyard is established on a sandy alluvial soil with a medium water holding capacity. Normal pruning of 8 - 10 two bud spurs per meter cordon is followed up by normal canopy management manipulations regarding shoot thinning and vertical shoot positing.
Grapes were harvested between 21.5° - 22.5°B from a selection of vineyards. Yield (ton/ha): 14 tons
Gentle pressing followed by using a Pneumatic bag press to capture the delicate fruit component. The wine was made reductively to prevent any oxidation and to ensure that natural flavours of the grapes could be retained. Fermentation happened in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks for 17 days at 14°C.
