The Winemasters ensemble, comprising a top-quality range of varietal offerings, is named to honour the Paarl winery’s longestablished tradition of winemaking excellence. These classically styled, food-friendly wines with abundant fruit flavours, elegance and finesse, treasure the integrity of the grapes in every step of the wine-growing and winemaking journey. Every drop demonstrates an unwavering commitment to world-class vineyard and cellar skills. This wine is made from a blend of equal parts of Carignan and Grenache.

in the vineyard : Planted in 2007, the vines are trellised on vertical systems, with sufficient sunlight penetrating into canopies. Both vineyards receive supplementary irrigation during the growing season.

about the harvest: The Grenache and Carignan grapes, hand-picked early in the morning, were sourced from vineyards situated at the Nederburg farm in Paarl.

in the cellar : The grapes were harvested by hand at 21º Balling during February. The clear juice was fermented dry in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks for a period of two weeks at 15ºC. Minimal skin contact was allowed.

Cellarmaster: Andrea Freeborough
