Stone & Steel Riesling

Asian food, chicken, salmon and tuna.

A wine grown high up on the foothills of the Groenlandberg in the cool climate of Elgin grown in stony soils and fermented in stainless steel resulting in a stunning tropical, mineral fruit bomb.

The wine is left on the gross lees for ±10 weeks.

Bunches are hand sorted, de-stemmed, crushed and then undergo a period of skin contact in tank to enhance flavour extraction before going through a gentle pressing cycle. The juice is clarified before initiating fermentation. Tank fermentation occurs at a cool 10-14°C until the decision is taken to arrest fermentation based on a thorough sensory evaluation.

Oak Valley is situated high along the Groenlandberg Mountain Range in one of the coolest wine growing regions in South Africa; Elgin. Attention to detail in the vineyards and our minimalist intervention approach in the cellar is what shapes our cool climate wine styles. Oak Valley’s signature is elegance.
