The grapes were crushed and destemmed, then pumped to rotor tanks and cooled to 10° to 12° C to extend skin contact for as long as possible. The tanks were rotated as frequently as possible to extract more sugar and botrytis character from the berries. The sugar level was tested three times per day to ensure the grapes did not ferment more than 1° Balling. Fermentation was stopped by adding wine spirits to the juice. It was then stabilised and filtered before bottling.

The Muscat d'Alexandrie vineyards providing the grapes for this award-winning Hanepoot Jerepigo contain only bush vines. This cultivar prefers rich alluvial soils known for their high water-retention capabilities. The vineyards yielded six to eight tons per hectare. The Hanepoot grapes were harvested when very ripe (32° Balling) and some berries had already turned raisiny. These imparted a wonderful honey flavour to the wine.

Du Toitskloof Wines

Iconic moments happen around tables. Over the past few decades, Du Toitskloof has earned and enjoyed a profound place at South African tables. Du Toitskloof Wines sources the majority of their grapes for their ranges from the Breedekloof valley, all within a 10km radius of the cellar. This sees to it that all the grapes share similar soil types and micro-climates. With a large array of different terroirs, the cellar makes wine with grapes that have grown along cool mountain slopes, in alluvial soils with high water-retention capabilities as well as sandy and rocky soils.
