Production Details Fruit from the two blocks were treated differently in the cellar with the Bobbejaan being whole bunch pressed while the Ou Jong Steen's grapes was de-stemmed and crushed. Juice yielded was allowed to settle before it was racked into 500 L barrels where indigenous yeast played a huge role in contributing to the prole of this wine. After Maturation the wine was racked off its primary lees and clarified by means of settling resulting in a wine that wasn't altered before bottling in order to contain the most aromatic compound in the wine that would have been lost due to such an action otherwise. Careful cellaring will allow this wine to age gracefully for at least 6 years from vintage.
