in the vineyard : Grapes from some of the finest vineyards in Robertson and Elgin.
about the harvest: The Chardonnay (100%) grapes were harvested at 19.5° Balling in February 2013, from vineyards producing a yield of 9-10 Tons/ha.
in the cellar : After the grapes were whole bunch pressed, the juice was left to settle overnight at 12°C. The clear juice was racked the next morning and inoculated with Prisse de Mousse yeast. Once the base wine was cold fermented at 13 – 16 °C and underwent malolactic fermentation, it was racked to clean stainless steel tanks and matured on the fine lees for four months. A small portion of the blend was barrel fermented to enhance the richness and flavour complexity of the final blend. The wine was then bottled for slow secondary fermentation, essential for a quality Cap Classique. The wine was matured for a minimum of 36 months on the lees before the sediment was removed by the traditional methods of “remuage” and “degorgement”.
