Anthonij Rupert Terra del Capo Pinot Grigio 2024

Green apple, pear and summer fruits accompanied by wet stone and floral notes on the nose. Fresh lemon and lime zest is fleshed out by sweet apple and stone fruit on the palate. A delightfully crisp and refreshing wine with a long mineral finish that lures you back for more.

The 2024 season can be characterised as one of extremes. Winter saw above-average rainfall, with widespread flooding in late September. The heavy rainfall also presented several challenges in the vineyards. Persistent strong winds during flowering and extremely dry conditions during fruit set resulted in a lower harvest than 2023. Heat spikes in January, with days exceeding 40°C, accelerated ripening, causing cultivars to ripen concurrently, putting pressure on picking teams. Mild weather conditions in February provided some relief by slowing ripening, resulting in excellent flavour and colour development and small concentrated berries.
in the vineyard : Pinot Grigio was first brought to South Africa by the late Anthonij Rupert, and it is now cultivated in several of the Cape’s wine regions. The
Terra del Capo Pinot Grigio is a blend of grapes from three different wards in the Western Cape, namely Franschhoek, Groenekloof and Elandskloof - each contributing its own individual character ranging from fresh citrus and apple to riper stone fruit flavours.
about the harvest: Grapes were hand-picked
in the cellar : 
The whole-bunch grapes were 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.
