WINEMAKING
This graceful wine is a true reflection of Stellenbosch terroir. The grapes are hand harvested in the early mornings and transported to the cellar where only the best grapes are sorted and fermented in stainless steel tanks. The wine is gently pumped over twice daily until dry, and pressed thereafter. Malolactic fermentation occurs in tank, and after completion, the wine is racked of its lees and transferred to a
selection of new-, second-, and third-fill barrels. After 18 months of ageing in barrel, the wine is carefully blended and bottled.

Nhunguru
WINEMAKING
This wine was made from bush vine Pinotage from the Swartland planted in the early 1990’s and is dryland farmed. 80% was destemmed and 20% left whole bunch through fermentation and maceration. Only gentle actions through fermentation as to not over extract tannins and rather create an elegant and fine example of Pinotage. Aged for 12 months in big French casks and old 500L neutral barrels. No additions and minimal intervention is the philosophy here.

Chenin blanc from the Breedekloof Valley where fruit purity and freshness are always ever present.

In total the wine spent the total maturation time of 7 months on its’ gross lees which adds plenty of complexity on the palate.

Nzambara
is similiar to

sour cherries
WINEMAKING
Made from vineyards planted in sandstone soils with a high clay presence which adds the concentration to otherwise a light and pretty Rose wine. In the cellar there was only a couple of hours of skin contact in the press and from there the juice underwent extended cold settling and cold fermentation. After fermentation the wine spent 2,5 months on the lees before bottling.
Interesting fact: a drop of Colombar was added at juice stage to add some freshness and zip on the aftertaste.
