The Grenache is bought in from Vriesenhof. Both varieties were
picked with low sugar to keep the alcohol low and retain
freshness.

Skin contact was less than one hour and free-run juice was used to give the colour. The wine was cold fermented and bottled early to maintain the
fruity flavours.

Tasting Notes
The wine was made in a reductive style to retain the fresh; fruity flavours
of the grapes. It was kept on the fine lees for 4 months for complexity
and balance.
Vineyards
To obtain a certain style of wine for our new Sauvignon Blanc,
we selected a specific vineyard in Stellenbosch that produced
more tropical flavours and less green aromas.
The vines are 18 years old and the canopy was opened to give
more thiols and fewer pyrazines.
The yield was restricted to 8ton/ha.
