Harvest Information

All grapes used to make this Cap Classique wine originate from Franschhoek. The Pinot Noir vines grow in sandy Tukulu soils on the banks of the Franschhoek river and the Chardonnay grapes on the granite slopes of the Franschhoek mountain. Extremely low yielding vineyards at 4.5 tonnes / ha. Both Chardonnay & Pinot Noir were harvested at 18˚ and 20˚ Balling respectively into small crates and carefully transported to the cellar.

Winemaking

Fermentation took place in stainless steel tanks. The must was fermented between 14 – 17˚C and the lees was stirred up daily for three months and then twice every week for three months thereafter. The wine spent 18 months on the lees during and after second fermentation before it was disgorged.
