A Mother's Journey

This wine is a combination of three different parcels from the Golden Triangle in the Helderberg mountains of Stellenbosch. The North facing slopes are a combination of Hutton and Clovelly on a clay sub-base. The vineyards were planted in 1999 and 2008. The grapes were hand-harvested in mid-March and the low-yielding vineyards deliver small berries with rich red fruit concentration.

French oak barrels for 18 month’s maturation before bottling.

Harvesting occurred in mid-March, and the grapes were cold soaked for 3 days allowing natural fermentation to commence. Pump overs occurred twice a day. After primary fermentation, the wine was pumped back into stainless steel tanks for malolactic fermentation to take place, and then racked off into 2nd to 4th fill French oak barrels for 18 month’s maturation before bottling.

Rascallion Wines is a joint venture between Ross Sleet and Wellington Wines. We are proud to be embedded in the Wellington Valley, one of the Cape's oldest wine regions and considered to be the birthplace of our industry, as it is home to the majority of vine nurseries where young vines are nurtured before being dispatched to the wider Cape Winelands. Wellington Wines’ winemaking philosophy and styles complement our ambition to create wines that reflect the outstanding terroir of the valley and the modern, fresh wines that our consumers love.
