Pleasure Garden Palomino

Medium spiced foods and local marine cuisine.

Planted on Shale based soils with lime and chalk substructure, single wire support; vineyard planted in 1927.

Harvested into 16.5kg crates, wholebunch pressed, juice settling 12-18hours. Fermentation in 500L concrete egg, no additions.

Blackwater wines are focused on sourcing fruit from the best possible vineyards across the Western Cape building long lasting relationships with the growers and do my utmost to make wines true to their origin. With the minimal intervention ethos in the cellar it all comes down to the grapes no wine making tricks – just sticking to the basics and attention to details. I personally enjoy wines built on natural acidity & grape tannin not plastered under layers of oak with countless additions and manipulations forced upon it. I trust you will enjoy the wines as much as I enjoy the journey of making them.
