in the vineyard : This unique bushvine vineyard of Sauvignon Blanc was planted in 1965 and it is the oldest existing block of the variety in South Africa. Farmed without irrigation, only in exceptionally clement vintages does this vineyard transcend the Swartland.
about the harvest: This single vineyard was hand-harvested over two days, at 21,5 degree balling, with a natural acidity of 7 g/l.
in the cellar : The bunches were gently destalked and the juice was pressed off and settled down for 48 hours, prior fermentation. Cold fermentation took place in stainless steel tanks.
