Information
Varietals: Cabernet Sauvignon
Vintage: 2020
Region: Ceres Plateau
Ward: Visgat - Koue Bokkeveld
Vineyard: 750 meters above sea-level Ceres Plateaux grapes in sandstone soil. Vines trained according to the vertical shoot positioning method on a traditional 3 wire trellis system.
Winemaking: The grapes were picked at optimal ripeness and cooled overnight to 4 degrees celsius. The next morning the grapes were hand sorted to open top French oak fermenters for whole cluster fermentation. 2 thirds were pressed after fermentation and the other third, the barrel were closed up with the whole clusters inside the barrel. All aged for 18 months. The whole clusters pressed after 18 months of skin and stem aging, blended and bottled.
