Harvest & Vineyard

We use three different Cinsault sites, Breedekloof, Darling and Stellenbosch. The grapes are harvested by hand and are chilled over night before processing. Each site brings something different to the wine in terms of character. The grapes are sorted by hand before going into fermenters, whole bunch, where they are foot stomped.

Winemaking

The fermentation took around 10 days to be completed before being pressed off. The wine was racked to big old french oak puncheons after pressing. All three batches went through full malolactic fermentation and spent 9 months in barrel. The batches were blended together along with a small amount of Grenache before a light filtration, followed by bottling.
