Durbanville Hills is one of only a handful of urban-based wineries. This close proximity to Cape Town has inspired our winemakers to create a new range of uniquely blended wines, which are vibrant, flavoursome and celebrate the essence of the city’s diverse and creative lifestyle.
in the vineyard : Grapes were sourced from the Cape Town region where maritime climatic conditions ensure the slow ripening of grapes and delicate fruity wines. The cooler temperatures due to oceanic winds and the long hours of sunlight as the sun set into the ocean deliver healthy, aromatic grapes.
about the harvest: The grapes were hand-picked early to the end of February at between 20,5° and 21,5° Balling.
in the cellar : Crushing and juice handling, varying from immediate draining to an average of four hours skin contact, was conducted under dry ice (CO2) to preserve the typical delicate flavours that are fragile during these first stages of the winemaking process. Cold fermentation at 13ºC to 15ºC, followed by extended contact with the lees for almost two weeks, contributes to the medium mouth-feel of the wine. The wines from the different vineyards were vinified separately according to the specific nature of the grapes and blended shortly before bottling.
