Elpidios

Beef, Game (deer, venison), Poultry

In the vineyard we aim for biological farming and in the cellar we work as natural as possible. It is all about the soil and vineyards after all. We believe in a pure, fresh and natural style where site and soil are at work with minimal influence from a winemaking point of view.

After bottling, the wine was aged in bottle for 18 months before release.

Along with the concrete vessels, the wine was also matured in old 500 L neutral French oak barrels and a 4 100 L foudre (Pinotage). The Elpidios is produced in similar fashion to our main Grenache noir in terms of long, gentle extraction, the use of 50% on average whole bunches and then pressed off.

David & Nadia is a family-owned project that focuses on producing wines from a spectrum of organically farmed, old and dry land bush vine vineyards from different areas with different soil types, and exclusively from the Swartland. David and Nadia are members of the Swartland Independent Producers with a natural and minimalistic approach in mind. In the cellar they work as naturally as possible and only add sulphur to their wines. It is all about the soil and vineyards after all. They believe in a pure, fresh and natural style where site and soil are at work with a minimal influence from a winemaking point of view.
