Pella Oukliprant Malbec

Beef, cured meats, duck, lamb, ostrich

Hand-harvested, sorted and de-stemmed. Riddled with ancient stone artefacts, this Single Vineyard flourishes side by side with Acheulean tools, dating back over 40,000 - 100,000 years ago; that is where the name ‘Oukliprant’ is derived from, meaning ‘old stone ridge’. East-facing slope. Yielding 4 tons/h. The vineyard benefits from a cool microclimate, with deep, weathered granite soils. Harvested periodically to ensure fermentation occurs on skins with a ripe tannin structure.

Aged for 15 months in French oak barrels.

Cold soak for 8 days at 9°C and fermented up to 28°C. Pump overs are carried out daily until fermented dry. A manual Basket press is used.
