Production Details The grapes originate from various old bush-vine and trellised vineyards in Stellenbosch and the Swartland. The grapes are hand-picked at various ripeness to express both the fresh stone fruit characters of Chenin blanc as well as the riper yellow fruit notes whilst still retaining acidity and freshness. The fruit was whole-bunch pressed to tank for settling overnight. 67% of the wine fermented in stainless steel and 33% in old 400L French oak barrels and a concrete Egg. The fermentation commenced with natural yeasts and took approximately three weeks to complete. The wines matured for 9 months on the gross lees before being blended and bottled.
