Description
This is a blend from 2 different elevation vineyards on our Jonkershoek Valley farm. The higher elevation vineyard has a finely textured decomposed granite soil and tends to produce a more elegant wine with softer tannin, while the lower vineyard is very rocky and seems to give a denser, more tannic wine. The grapes for this wine were hand-harvested in late-February and cooled overnight to 12 degrees C., before being carefully hand-sorted and crushed into small open fermentation vats. The must was cold-soaked for a couple of days before being inoculated with a mix of domestic and imported Rhône yeasts. About 30 of the wine underwent natural fermentation and about 5% was whole-bunch fermented. Regular, vigorous punchdowns were given every 4 hours for the first half of fermentation, then every 8 hours thereafter. At dryness (average 7-10 days), it was basket pressed and racked directly to barrel for malo-lactic fermentation and subsequent barrel maturation. A mix of coopers was used, all French oak, all 300 litre, mostly second-fill (about 25% new). After 22 months barrel maturation, the wine was bottled without fining or filtration.
