The Pinot Noir was selected from various sites from Durbanville and Darling regions. A combination of sites consisting of decomposed granite weathered shales.
The 2016 vintage has been a very
gentle year with beautiful ripeness levels in our parcels of Pinot Noir. The parcels of Pinot
Noir were hand-selected and hand-picked. Prior to pressing the whole bunches was allowed
to have a short period of enzymatic colour extraction, to draw sufficient natural colour before pressing. Then pressed with the separation of cuvee from the taille, and only the cuvee clear juice was fermented in stainless steel. After the first fermentation, the wine was prepared for secondary fermentation in the bottle. The wine was left on the lees for 6 (six) years before the sediment was removed in the traditional process of remuage and dégorgement. The bottles were then corked and laid down for a further few months cork maturation before release.
