in the cellar : Grapes were crushed & allowed skin contact in press prior to a gentle pressing, cold settling overnight and racking into old French oak and inoculated with neutral yeasts for a long cool barrel ferment. The old vine Swartland Chenin Blanc was naturally fermented in old 400L barrels prior to maturation in 228L puncheons. Post ferment, the wines are racked into old French oak barrels of varying size from 225L – 500L with a portion of fine lees, sulphured up and matured in barrel for 9 months prior to a barrel selection, blending and bottling unfined, unfiltered. Best decant and serve lightly chilled.
