Harvest Detail

The grapes originate from the Riebeek Valley and were harvested at 24°B.The grapes were crushed after which they were left overnight to cold temperature. The next day the next the tank was warmed up and the grapes were inoculated with a selected yeast strain. The wine was fermented at about 28ºC with regular pump overs until about 4ºB. The wine was then pressed and fermented dry, after which it went through malolactic fermentation in tank.
