WINEMAKERAnthony Kock ORIGINCape Town TERROIR / SOILEast-facing, deep oakleaf and Clovelly soils on the Tygerberg Hills. VINEYARD AND CLIMATE CONDITIONSDryland, trellised vines with an average age of 15 years yielded the grapes for this wine. Moderate summers with low night temperatures and cold winters create a perfect micro-climate for Sauvignon Blanc grapes. WINEMAKINGGrapes were harvested with a new technology harvest machine early in the morning while the ambient temperatures are still very low and the grapes cool. We harvested at optimum ripeness (between 21° and 23° Balling). Skin contact was allowed for 4 hours at 10°C. Only free-run juice drained by gravity was used for fermentation. The wine fermented in stainless-steel tanks between 12° and 14°C. After fermentation, the wine matured on its lees for 3 months before racking and bottling. DOWNLOAD TASTING NOTE
