Grapes are hand harvested from 16 year old vines on the centre slope of the Tierberg mountains.

After pressing, the wine is transferred to 20% new, 40% second fill and 40% third fill French oak barrels for malolactic fermentation and maturation for 18 months, until bottled.

The bunches are destemmed, crushed and placed into open top fermenters. After cold soaking for 48 hours, the grapes are innoculated with selected yeast strains to begin fermentation. The grapes undergo punch downs and pump overs 3 times a day, as well as delestage twice a day.

Bloemendal Wine Estate is a historic gem, situated in the fertile Durbanville Valley, just 30 minutes from Cape Town. The farm was established in 1702 and is one of the largest wine farms in the region, reaching up along the Kanonberg Mountains. A producer of world class award-winning wines, an idyllic wedding and function venue and home to the popular family restaurant, Bon Amis, there are so many reasons to visit Bloemendal Estate.
