in the vineyard : Early season French variety, made world famous by the growers in Burgundy and Chablis in France. Perhaps the most versatile white winegrape variety, allowing many different styles and producing an array of flavours from toffee, butterscotch and nuts to citrus, pineapple and peach depending on the terroir. Production 70-100hl per hectare. Early ripening. Definitive lemon and citrus flavours produced on Zandvliets kalkveld terroir.
in the cellar : Skin contact at 3-5ºC up to 36 hours depending on the health of the grapes. Fermented at 15ºC. All the wines underwent malolactic fermentation, with development on the lees for 90 days. No fermentation or ageing in oak.
