about the harvest: Tropical Paarl Sauvignon Blanc and low yielding Riebeek Kasteel bush vine Chenin Blanc were hand selected and reductively handled from crush to bottling.

in the cellar :

Expressive Paarl Viognier was fermented and matured in French oak for 3 months and then blended with the other two components to add complexity and depth to the wine. Fermentation in stainless steel for Chenin Blanc lasted 20 days at 13- 15C whilst the Sauvignon Blanc fermented for 23 days at 14- 16 0 C.

The Viognier was allowed to ferment naturally for 3 degrees balling and was then inoculated with a commercial yeast strain to ensure a clean and complete ferment. Fermentation lasted for 8 days at 19 0 C. The wines were blended and lightly filtered prior to bottling
