in the vineyard : Yielding grapes with very ripe flavours, great acidity and pH balance - ideal for making Riesling. This vintage marks our fourth crop from this block of Riesling and we are beginning to understand the true potential of its terroir.

about the harvest: The 2016 harvest was early at Klein Constantia.

in the cellar : The Riesling is made in a natural and minimalistic style. The grapes had long extended skin contact before pressing and were fermented naturally. The wine underwent cold fermentation and was left on the lees for 6 months. No added enzymes were used in the making of this wine.
