Production Details Chardonnay from Wakkerstroom area outside Robertson, on the southern bank of the Breede River, rich in limestone content. Pinot Noir from Vlaeberg area in Stellenbosch region overlooking the Simonsberg mountain. Both vineyards are trellised and farmed with biologically sensitive practices. Selective harvesting by hand early in the morning during January 2023 in small crates with a grape sugar level of 17-18 degrees balling. Grapes chilled overnight, delicate whole bunch pressing. Settled overnight at 10°C. Fermented with EC1118 yeast at 15°C and left on the primary lees for six months. Blended with reserved base wine from previous vintages for continuity of character. After bottling the wine spent 18-24 months on the lees before disgorging. No dosage was added.
