Kleine Zalze vyd sel Cha

Elegant and complex. Upfront aroma of limes and citrus
blossoms. On the palate the delicate taste of oak, supported
by a crystalline acid structure and a slight pithy finish.
Vineyard
The Stellenbosch vineyards are planted in decomposed
granite soils and provides structure and fruit to the wine
whilst the Robertson portion is planted in limestone-based
soils and provide texture and mineral elements.
Winemaking
The grapes were harvested and crushed with most of the
juice having extended skin contact for at least 12 hours
before it was pressed. Only the free run portion of the juice
was used for this selection. Certain portions were “whole
bunch” pressed to ensure elegance and finesse. After 1 day of
settling, the juice was racked to a fermentation vessel where
we inoculate with a slow fermenting yeast strain. The juice
was racked into barrel 1 day after inoculation and left to
ferment at low temperature until dry. The wine spent a total
of 8 months in barrel before blending and bottling. A
combination of 20% new and the rest second and third fill
400L French oak barrels were used
