Vineyard: Vines grow on a very steep rocky outcrop in the cool climate Elgin valley. Vines trained on a eschela system, also known as the “stok by paal” method. In other words when a vine is trained next to and onto a pole. One vine per pole with no wires.
Winemaking: The grapes were picked at optimal ripeness and cooled overnight to 4 degrees celsius. The next morning the grapes were destemmed and after a few hours skin contact pressed with no additives. The juice underwent spontaneous fermentation in only one French oak barrel. Deep winter the wine received sulfur, it's only additive. 10 months on the leese and bottled.
