ageing : Ready to be enjoyed now with the potential to age further for three to five years.

The Vineyard Collection wines are made from specific vineyards, each with its unique character for its cultivar and terroir.
in the vineyard : These old vine Chenin Blanc grapes were sourced from a bushvine vineyard planted in 1977. The soil is mostly composed of decomposed granite.
about the harvest: The grapes were hand-harvested in the early morning, in late January at 19° Balling, when it was still cool.
in the cellar : After the grapes were de-stemmed, the whole bunch was pressed with no skin contact and only the best free-run juice was selected. The wine was then settled overnight and then the clean juice was fermented within stainless steel tanks. The juice was settled for twelve hours and the clean
juice was racked to the fermentation tank for the first alcoholic fermentation. After the fermentation the wine was stored on the lees for six months without any sulphur addition. The wine was then stabilised and filtered before the addition of sugar and yeast for the second fermentation. The second alcoholic fermentation was done in the bottle under a crown cap. The wine was then aged for at least eighteen months on the lees in the bottle. The wine was disgorged and then corked.
