WINE OF ORIGIN: BOT RIVER
Winemaker’s Notes:
My dream was to create a white blend to partner the Vitruvian. The first name that came to mind was “New Baby”. I wrote this on the barrels and so the first vintage was born. The follow up 2016 vintage is a little more classic in style. Not quite as voluptuous as the 2015 but with a precision and complexity of flavour that draws you into the wine. The 2018 vintage is similar in style to the 2016 vintage in terms of style and weight. It has the added dimension of some great phenolic tension.
Another very dry vintage follows the 2017 vintage. Healthy conditions produced perfect fruit. Harvesting took place pretty much at our normal time at the beginning of Feb. All varietals were treated independently and then blended very soon after harvest to get integration as early as possible. All naturally fermented in barrel with about 30% new oak. 5 x 400L barrels made & matured for 12months in French oak of which 30% was new.
