in the vineyard : Most of the grapes used in this Paulina's Reserve come from vines situated a stone’s throw from the Atlantic Ocean - Elgin and upper West Coast. Westerly facing slopes host these well manicured and settled vines yielding 6 ton/ha.
about the harvest: The grapes were harvested by hand at 23° Balling with good harvesting conditions and transported to Rickety Bridge winery in cooled conditions. All grapes were vinified at Rickety Bridge.
in the cellar : Fermentation took place in a stainless steel tank at 12°C and lasted more than 30 days ensuring a fresh and concentrated wine. The wine was pressed gently up to 0.9 Bar pressure. 10% of this wine was fermented and aged in small French oak barrels. Total maturation time in barrel was 6 months. The remaining 90% was kept in stainless steel tanks on the yeast lees for 6 months to ensure rounded mouth feel.
