Specs | Winemaker Rudi Schultz |
Vineyards | Grapes are sourced from a single vineyard in the Bottelary Hills ward of Stellenbosch, located 16 miles from the ocean at an elevation of 348 feet above sea level. The rows are planted northeast to southwest. The soil is a granite-based “duplex” form which consists of coarse sand on gravel with a small percentage of wet clay. |
Vinification | The grapes were de-stemmed and the whole berries were pumped into an open top stainless steel fermenter, with 5% whole bunches added to the ferment. The tank was inoculated with Enoferm Syrah, a Rhône isolated yeast strain. Punch downs were performed three times daily during fermentation. The wine was left on its skins for an additional five days of extended maceration before pressing. It was then racked |
