Area of Origin

Western Cape, South Africa.

Vineyard

Chardonnay selected from the riverside and
limestone vineyards with high natural lime in the soils producing 9
tons/ha. Pinot Noir planted in the loamy clay soils producing 10
tons/ha coming from our coastal Firgrove Vineyards.

Harvest Details

Both varietals are hand picked: Chardonnay at 18-19.5°B for fruit
and elegance. Pinot Noir at 18.5-20°B for complexity and length of
flavour.

Cellar

Produced in the Méthode Cap Classique cellar, Robertson.

Cellar Treatment

Whole bunch pressing ensures fractional recovery. After settling of
juice the two varieties are fermented separately. They are then
crossblended along with reserve wine if necessary, bottled and left
for 15 to 18 months yeast contact time before disgorgement.

Tasting Notes

"Light yeasty aromas, good fruit on the nose, and rich creamy
complexity on the palate. Fine mousse gives freshness and finesse.”
