The Wine The Wine
South Africa
Region:Western Cape
The 2022 vintage followed a normal to good winter, allowing the vines to have that essential period of downtime to rest up ready to go again. The harvest started fairly late after a cool spring and early summer conditions but commenced at a brisk pace after some nasty heatwaves. This is a real discovery wine and captures the winemaking movements taking place in the Cape perfectly. In previous years this would be blended away in other cuvées, but when our buyer was visiting he was utterly captivated by this wine's lifted red fruit, cherry note and the luscious creamy fruited textured palate.
The Winemaker The Winemaker
Pieter Carstens
South Africa's winemaking regions fan out from the beautiful city of Cape Town, dominated by Table Mountain. Often, a blanket of wispy-edged white cloud tumbles down, almost like a waterfall. This unusual phenomenon mirrors the rich diversity of climates that makes Cape wine so fascinatingly varied.
"The grapes are 100% destemmed and then fermented in Stainless Steel at a controlled temperature that reached a maximum of 22°C. We pumped over twice daily and left on skin for extra 3 weeks after fermentation for fuller extraction and depth of flavour and character." - Pieter Carstens, Winemaker.
