Description
WINE OF ORIGIN: WALKER BAY
Winemaker’s Notes:
Only being the second release, the wine made from this single vineyard Semillon has taken the world by storm. It is made from a 0.9 hectare single vineyard that performs extremely well every year and that communicates the purity of fruit and the longevity of the wine it produces. This vineyard’s location and the diurnal temperature range has a profound impact on the varietal definition and style, with meticulous canopy management setting it up for continuous success.
Grapes were hand-picked in the cool morning and sorted at the cellar. Destemming and crushing was followed by two hours of skin contact. The juice was settled for 48 hours, racked and inoculated with a selected yeast strain. An 80% portion of the wine was barrel fermented and matured for nine months to add texture and complexity. The remaining component was fermented in tanks at low temperatures to allow for maximum fruit and varietal expression. Oak maturation: 9 months, 50% new 500L French oak
