Intelligent and playful, the Cape Grey Mongoose is charming to watch, feeding off insects and burrowing in the vineyards. A fellow friend of the vineyards, this wine honours the small, bushy-tailed Mongoose - both big on attitude and surprisingly dynamic.
in the vineyard : In our quest to source unique and exclusive vineyards, we visit many sites and meet interesting farmers along the way. In the past few years, we have noticed a definitive move towards sustainable vineyard practices and the preservation of natural flora and fauna. The goal is to establish long term relationships with these growers and promote their innovative approach to sustainability so that the wines we produce today, can be enjoyed for generations to come.
in the cellar : Grapes are sourced from mature sites in Paardeberg, Montague and Worcester. They are harvested at full ripenes at the different sites, cold settled and fermented (14-16°C) with specially selected neutral yeast strains, to ensure full expression of the terroir and vineyards in this Chenin Blanc. This results in wonderful components to create this ripe, tropical wine with a hint of wheatiness and complexity.
