AWARDS
2020 Gilbert & Gaillard - Gold

ageing : Enjoyable now but has the potential to age for 10 years.

in the vineyard : The Bottelary Hills are extremely diverse in terms of terroir. A wide variety of different slopes, aspects, elevation above sea level, soils, and the influence of both the False Bay to the south, and the cold Atlantic in the west, make for a very intricate array of micro-climates. The Bottelary area forms part of granitic hills and the reddish- and yellowish- brown soils are highly suited to the production of quality wine grapes. The soils are acidic, have great water retention capabilities and are well drained. Soil types include Oakleaf, Tukulu, Hutton and Clovelly. Vineyards in the Bottelary Hills are planted at varying heights from 150m to up to 400m above sea level. All of these factors contribute to crafting unique, distinctive
wines with a sense of place

about the harvest: The grapes were hand harvested in small crates in the early hours of the morning to keep the grapes cool and preserve flavours

in the cellar : Grapes are cooled further overnight in our on-site cold room (3°C) and processed the following day. Bunch sorting as well as berry sorting is practiced to make sure only the best grapes are used in our wines. We make use of a Delta Oscillys De-stemmer with a very soft action. The grapes are rolled off the stems, preventing the extraction of harsh unwanted phenolics. The various blocks Cabernet Sauvignon were de-stemmed to a stainless-steel tank for a maceration period of 1-2 weeks. Once spontaneous fermentation started, we inoculated with yeast.
