- Winemaking Notes
Natural fermentation lasted 3 weeks on the grape skins with daily punch downs and pump-overs. The wine was then gently pressed, aged in 25% new Russian oak for 8 months prior to bottling.
- Growing Conditions
Bush vines planted in 2011 on decomposed granite soils on a vineyard named Kleinplasie.
- Food Pairing
It has a savoury finish which marries well with complex food flavours such as dim sum, sticky pork or even slow roasted lamb and can be served slightly less chilled than a conventional white to allow the oak flavours a chance to express themselves.
