Franschhoek

Wine description |

The grapes were produced on the estate itself. The grapes were harvested early morning and stored in a cool room overnight until being sorted and crushed the following day. Lees rubbing of 4 days was done at 3°C to extract the delicate fruit flavours. The juice was racked and inoculated with yeast and cold fermented in tank until dry. The wine aged on the lees for 1 month before racking and sulphuring to ensure the fresh flavours of these grape cultivars. Another 2 months of lees aging was done prior bottling.

Winemaker?s notes |

The wine has a vibrant green hue. Abundant green pepper flavours welcomes you and are beautifully followed by tropical fruit hints. Intriguing flavours of mango and peaches lingers on the palate. The fresh acidity and balanced sugar gives this wine perfect finesse. Recommended dishes: Enjoy with a cool summer salad with mango and pomegranate. Bruschettas with tomato, basil pesto or a rocket and Parma ham pizza at your favourite restaurant.
