Tasting Notes

Alcohol

11.5%

Analytical data

dry

{0} g/l residual sugar
{0} g/l acidity

Vinification

Spontaneous alcoholic fermentation occurred in an old French oak foudre, before the wine was transferred to both stainless steel (50%) and older 300ℓ French oak hogsheads.

Vineyard

This vineyard has unique history and an extraordinary story of “2 lives”. First planted in 1964 on the slopes of the Paardeberg Mountains between Malmesbury and Paarl in the Swartland, these old bush vines were removed from their original home and replanted on the north facing decomposed granite slopes of L’Ormarins, Franschhoek in 2007 & 2008 where they now produce this single varietal wine. Yielding on average around 2 – 3 tons/ha, the vines produce fruit of great purity and balance.

Soil Type

Decomposed Granite

Viticulture

Grapes were hand-picked early in the morning into small lug boxes and taken to the cellar adjacent to the vineyard, where they were then destemmed and pressed, and the juice allowed to settle overnight.

Maturation

The wine underwent spontaneous MLF (100%) and was kept on the fine lees for 7 months prior to bottling.
