Everyone else is busy launching apps, so we thought we’d give it a 𝘨𝘰 too. (Get it?) For now, you can open P2Go straight in your mobile browser while we experiment and learn. We’re launching this pilot from the Three Anchor Bay store in Cape Town, with support from the Norman Goodfellows team. Visit go.p2p.co.za and find the bottles you had in mind all along. Citrus leaf, nectarine and baked artisanal bread aromas mingle with notes of kelp and sea spray. Tangy, zippy and fresh entry with bright pops of lemon, grapefruit and orange zest. The palate is lively and energetic, courtesy of its vivid acidity, with a slight edge of limestone, oyster shell and flint lending a dryness. That brightness then makes way for an ample, richer, altogether more leesy, baked sourdough and yeasty breadth. Harmony of citrus fruit, acid and mature autolytic notes is impeccable and as a consequence, the genteel, elegant power of the wine is restrained and lengthy while clean and crisp.

The Chardonnay grapes are hand-picked from Altima in Elandskloof and Rooderust in Groenekloof early in the morning to preserve their freshness. The grapes are cooled overnight and then whole-bunch pressed. Free-run juice and press fractions are kept separate to enhance blending options. The juice is settled and inoculated with selected yeast for fermentation. About 16% undergoes partial barrel fermentation and remains in barrel for 12 weeks before blending. No malolactic fermentation is allowed, ensuring the wine retains its freshness and natural acidity. Once blended, the base wine is stabilized, filtered, and bottled for secondary fermentation, which lasts 6–8 weeks at a controlled 13–15°C.

The 2021 vintage can be summed up as “late, slow, and steady.” A cold, wet winter provided excellent dormancy and replenished dam levels ahead of the growing season. Cool conditions extended into spring, leading to a delayed but even bud break, flowering, and fruit set. Moderate summer temperatures further slowed ripening, pushing harvest about two weeks later than usual. February, typically a hot month, remained unusually cool, allowing for gradual ripening and excellent flavour development with balanced acidity. The result is an exceptional vintage with the potential to produce outstanding wines.

Lormarins

Anthonij Rupert Wyne was founded on the farm L’Ormarins in Franschhoek. Originally owned by the late Anthonij Rupert who passed away in 2001 the farm was eventually taken over by his brother Johann Rupert in 2003 and the brand named after him. It was Johann Rupert who constructed a state-of-the-art winemaking facility catapulting the farm into a prestigious wine estate and the beginnings of what is now a sprawling enterprise. The focus is on terroir specific wines and therefore the ranges are made from a number of sites. Each site offers optimum varietal specific growing conditions allowing Anthonij Rupert Wyne to adhere to the requirements of their different brands.
