Ekliptika

Please note: Award stickers are applied at the producer's discretion and may not be present on all bottles.

This wine is made naturally and in a biodynamic way by not making use of any commercial yeasts, enzymes or fining agents. It is further not filtered or cold stabilized and may therefore in time show harmless sediment.

Rooted in the oldest viticulture soil in the world, made up of decomposed granite on the lower slopes of the Helderberg Mountain. This vineyard enjoyed the refreshingly cool breezes from False Bay (Atlantic Ocean) during the day and cool air at night flowing down the mountain, resulting in even ripening of the berries and good, natural acidity. The macro climate is maritime, with cold wet winters and sunny warm summers, with the Helderberg Ward being the coolest in the Stellenbosch region. The vineyards are meticulously cared for by hand and the crop is reduced to ensure maximum quality. Biodynamic & Organic practices are followed and therefore no herbicides or chemical sprays were used in the production of these grapes.

The Ekliptika was matured in 70% new and 30% matured French oak barrels for 24 months.
