Chardonnay: 53%, Pinot Noir: 47%
"A very pretty nose of fresh flowers, citrus and creamy toast leads into a balanced, rich Chardonnay-like character on the palate. Minerally, clean, fresh but serious, this wine is food-friendly and elegant." (WE)
Winery Notes:
Vineyard
Chardonnay selected from the riverside and “limestone” vineyards with high natural lime in the soils producing three and one half tons per acre. Pinot Noir is planted in the loamy clay soils of our coastal Firgrove Vineyards; producing four tons per acre on average.
Harvest Details
Both varietals are hand picked: Chardonnay at 18 - 19.5 Brix for fruit and elegance; Pinot Noir at 18.5 - 20 Brix for complexity and length of flavor.
Cellar
Produced in the Méthode Cap Classique cellar (méthode champe- noise), Robertson, South Africa.
Cellar treatment
Whole bunch pressing ensures fractional recovery. After settling of juice the two varieties are fermented separately. They are then crossblended along with reserve wine if necessary, bottled and left for 15 to 18 months yeast contact time before disgorgement.
Tasting notes
“Light yeasty aromas, good fruit on the nose, and rich creamy complexity on the palate. Fine mousse gives freshness and finesse.” Pieter Ferreira.
