Runaway Pinot Gris

Our grapes came from Stellenbosch. Our grapes come from the region of Stellenbosch in South Africa. All the vineyards were trellised. All grapes are harvested by hand in individual bins in optimal conditions to ensure true quality from beginning to end. The wine is transported in half-ton bins to the cellar.

The wine spent an extended amount of time on the lees (6 months) in stainless steel tanks with occasional baronage. 10% was aged for 4 months in old French oak barrels. Then barrels and the tank were blended and later racked off the fine lees.

We do whole bunch press and the wine was left to settle overnight. The wine was naturally fermented using wild yeast found on the grapes and in the atmosphere.

Usana is situated in the beautiful and historic Stellenbosch Wine Region on Klein Welmoed the Winshaw Family farm. The Winshaws have been farming on Klein Welmoed for forty-four years; over the past few years the family has diversified the farm by introducing the Usana produce. This new venture boasts a portfolio of four wines; Cabernet Sauvignon Sauvignon Blanc Pinot Gris and a barrel fermented Chenin Blanc.
