Anthonij Rupert Terra del Capo Pinot Grigio 2021

Appealing playful lightness of pear and nectarine on the nose. Tangy, light and zesty, the mouthful is fresh and succulent. Intense lemon zip ac-
companies pear drop and stone fruit vibrance. Lively, clean and crisp with a gentle lees suggestion. Lightweight and easy to enjoy. Pleasantly dry to the end.

in the vineyard : Pinot Grigio was first brought to South Africa by the late Anthonij Rupert, and it is now cultivated in several wine regions. The Terra del Capo Pinot Grigio is a blend of grapes from four different wards in the Western Cape, namely Franschhoek, Groenekloof, Elgin and Elandskloof - each contributing its own individual character ranging from fresh citrus and apple to riper stone fruit flavours.

about the harvest: 

Harvesting Began: 28/01/2021
Harvesting Ended: 09/03/2021

in the cellar : Grapes were handpicked and transported to the cellar where they were whole-bunch pressed immediately to minimise colour extraction from this blue/grey grape. Following overnight settling, the juice was racked and cold-fermented using selected yeast cultures. The wine was kept on the fine lees in stainless steel tanks before a selection of the best free-run parcels were blended and bottled.
