In the winery we did whole bunch pressing straight to Stainless Steel ( 60 % ) and Concrete Egg ( 40% ) without any additions – natural fermentation started slowly after five days and completed in 28 days after which the wine spent 5 months on the gross lees before preparing ( with minimum intervention ) for bottling.

Partnering with Johan Van Zyl from the farm Heidedal in the high mountains of the Piekenierskloof Valley, we put much effort into this vineyard and winemaking to produce a very individually styled wine. The grapes are grown on 700 meters above sea level on decomposed granite soils and were picked mid-February from a mature 20+ year old vineyard.
