Elgin’s cool daytime climate and cold nights during the growing season make it perfectly suited to producing a Cape version of the famous German ‘Mosel’ style of Riesling. Exudes sweet yet persistent fresh limes, crisp apple, beeswax and wild honey. The fresh acidity is well balanced with the fruit sweetness and supported by mineral texture from the shale soils and a long, intense, sherbet finish. Secondary characteristics underlying limes and flowers include a tinge of lamp oil which enhances the overall texture and typical character of the wine.

Description

PHILOSOPHY: Riesling grapes are perfectly suited to cold climates and Riesling is known as an “Eskimo” variety. Since Elgin has cool daytime climate and cold nights during the growing season, it is perfectly suited to produce a Cape version of the famous German “Mosel” style. WINEMAKING: Clusters were handpicked at 19.8o Balling into lug baskets and hand sorted. After pressing, the must was settled for two days and decanted off the solids where it was inoculated with a commercial yeast strain suited to this variety. The wine fermented cold (14oC) for 26 days until it reached the residual sugar required for sweetness to balance the acidity. The final wine was fined and lightly filtered to bottle. VINEYARDS: Our grapes are sourced from two vineyards. One is on a south-east facing slope in the Kogelberg Biosphere rich in plant diversity besides vineyards and the other site is on a higher, western slope close to the Groenlandberg spur section of the Hottentots Holland range that encircles the Elgin Valley. Riesling clones include WR110 on Tukulu and Shale soils and are vertically shoot positioned on a double cordon-arm that are spur pruned. – Catherine Marshall Wines
