Age of Vines: 30 years old
Soil: Opok – Limestone and clay silt
Varieties: Sauvignon Blanc
Vinification Method: Grapes are hand-harvested and partly destemmed. They are fermented in 2400-liter wooden casks with indigenous yeast. The grapes macerate on the skins for between 2 and 4 weeks before they are transferred to 2400 and 1200-liter oval wooden tanks for elevage for about 23 months. Bottled without fining or filtration, no sulfur added.
Personality: Sauv blanc edge meets maceration roundness. Wonderfully balanced between lush fruit, smoky and herbal notes and acidic backbone. Perfect pairing wine offering so much to play with.
