AWARDS

2019 Michelangelo International Wine & Spirit Awards - Gold

Some things never go out of fashion, like time-honoured techniques, craftsmanship and attention-to-detail. This is what you’ll discover in every bottle of Zonnebloem.

Since 1856 Zonnebloem has been crafting classic award winning wines. Our grapes are sourced from Stellenbosch, a classic wine growing region in South Africa, which enables us to continue producing wines of unwavering substance and quality.

in the vineyard : THE CRAFT OF VITICULTURE
Isabel Habets (Viticulturist) The grapes were sourced from low yielding, trellised vineyards in and around Stellenbosch, including Jonkershoek, Stellenbosch Kloof, Koelenhof, and Helderberg.

about the harvest: The grapes were harvested by hand between 22° and 24.5° Balling throughout February.

in the cellar : Elize Coetzee (Cellar Master ) / John November (Wine maker) Each vineyard was separately vinified. Approximately 80% of the juice was fermented on wood at 14° to 16°C. The balance was fermented, without any wood, in stainless steel tanks at 14° to 16°C. In both instances, the wine was left on the lees for seven months.
