in the news » Klawer Cellars Harvest Report: Week 4
published on: 16 February 2012      source: Klawer Wine Cellars
 
We are very thankful for the consistently healthy red grapes that we receive, with true cultivar aromas, beautiful fruit and character. On Friday 17 February more than a third of the red grape harvest has already been taken in.
Trawal is currently still receiving Chenin Blanc and Colombar. The last block Chardonnay was harvested on Friday.

Christo Beukes, assistant winemaker, tasted a few 2012 wines and herewith shares his observations:

“A few wine tanks and cultivars stood out. The following flavours came out strongly: Colombar with a fruit cocktail aroma, Chardonnay with an overripe banana aroma, Chenin Blanc with a lovely guava aroma and Sauvignon Blanc with a beautiful green and dusty aroma.”
