Viticulture
From both the hillside Devon Crest vineyard outside Stellenbosch as well as a number of vineyard sites across the Cape Winelands. A Chenin Blanc-based blend with a dollop of Muscat d’Alexandrie, or Hanepoot. All the grapes for this blend are sourced from old Swartland vineyards on iron-rich decomposed soils.
Vinification
Hand-harvested, cooled to 5°C, whole bunch pressing, oxidative style for vineyard nuances. Natural fermentation in concrete 'egg' tanks and oak barrels. Lees contact for six months adds midpalate texture and richness. Complex, minerally wine.
Food Match
Enjoy with sushi or seared tuna. Also pairs well with heartier meats such as pichana steak and pork belly.
