Description
THE WINES OF KEVIN GRANT
WINE OF ORIGIN: HEMEL-EN-AARDE RIDGE
Winemaker’s Notes:
This vin de terroir is the product of the unique vineyard sites situated exclusively in the Hemel-en-Aarde Ridge wine ward, close to the coastal village of Hermanus. Soils from these sites are derived from the Bokkeveld shale group, which are characteristically low-vigour, clay-rich and stony. The long shadow of the three-year long drought that began in 2016 resulted in the tiniest vintage in the history of our vineyards. However, our very close proximity to the moderating cold Atlantic Ocean, and a near perfect growing season, ensured that fruit of enviable quality arrived at the cellar door. Picking started comparatively late in the season (during mid-March 2019), the fruit being transported to the cellar after overnight cooling in the cold room. Uncomplicated yet sensitive winemaking ensured that the wine reflects our exciting terroir in an arresting and authentic way.
