Petnat

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

This Petnat has been fermented and aged as naturally as possible, without intervention and in search of an authentic reflection of its origin. The grapes were handpicked in the early morning hours to preserve fruit integrity. The fruit was then gently pressed after a brief period of skin contact. The juice was settled overnight without the use of settling enzymes and from here it was fed directly to French oak barrels (all seasoned oak) where fermentation occured spontaneously.

100% Chenin blanc. A single-vineyard wine from a bush vine parcel planted in 1980. The vineyard is situated a mere 4 km’s from the shores of False Bay.

The wine initially fermented in barrel for a couple of weeks on the lees and was then bottled, with an approximate residual sugar of 20 grams. Fermentation was completed in the bottle.
