Kanoa

This bold wine pairs well with flavourful roasted or grilled lamb or beef and a creamy sauce.

Only berries of premium quality were hand-picked in the vineyard, leaving all sunburnt berries on the vine.

Finally, the wine was lightly pressed and matured for 18 months in French oak barrels. Twenty percent went into 1st fill French oak and the rest into 2nd and 3rd fill.

Once de-stemmed, the berries underwent a second-hand sorting selection process. No crushing of the berries took place and was inoculated with yeast to start the alcoholic fermentation process. Once completed, cold-soaking took place for one day at 15°C. The grapes were left on the skins for 21 days. Punch-downs and pump-overs occurred regularly ensuring smooth well structured tannins.

Our approach is classic, with a modern touch, We hand-select our grapes in the vineyards and once in the cellar we release their true inner character in a traditional way, combined with modern techniques, triggering all five senses: The Element, The Emotion, The Land, The Light and The People.
