This wine signifies something truly special to me as a winemaker and is part of my journey in life and wine in South Africa, hence the name, Camino Africana, “The African Way”.
in the vineyard : Made from nearly equal amounts of Touriga Nacional, Tinta Barocca. The first two from vines planted in the very dry area of Prince Albert Hamlet in the Karoo and the latter from Paarl.
about the harvest: Harvest dates: March 2021
Average Production: 4-5 tons/hectare
in the cellar : The grapes were crushed together into open top fermenters where the primary fermentation and six punchdowns per day was done for a period of a week before pure grape spirits were added to arrest the fermentation, keeping just the right amount of natural grape sugar in the wine. The wine was matured for 12 months in 300 litre barrels before being racked and bottled.
