Tasting Notes

Fresh citrus on the nose with fine mineral character. Crisp acidity with a dry, focused finish. Subtle brioche complexity from lees ageing. Creamy mousse with Champagne-like structure and tension.

Growing Season

The 2023 vintage will be remembered for the untimely rainfall in early December and early March. In general the summer average temperature was cooler than previous years.

Vineyards

Block Size:Various
Planted:Various
Soil:It comes from vineyards perched 500 metres above sea level, where cool mountain air slows ripening and preserves natural acidity.

Bony, high-potential terroir dominated by ancient Bokkeveld shale (schist) over a clay subsoil. These shallow, stony soils force vines to root deeply, while the underlying clay acts as a vital reservoir for moisture.

Vinification & Ageing

Anaylsis: Alcohol 12 % vol, Residual Sugar 2.2 gm/l, Total Acidity 5.8 gm/l, pH 3.19

The team hand-harvests the grapes at first light to preserve freshness and natural acidity. Subsequently, they whole-bunch press the fruit and guide it through traditional method fermentation.

In addition, a slow secondary fermentation unfolds in the bottle, where the wine rests on the lees for 12 months. This quiet evolution builds texture, depth and nuance over time. Importantly, zero dosage means the team adds nothing and conceals nothing. Consequently, only the purity of the fruit and the precision of the winemaking remain.
