Description
The grapes were sourced from three different sites in Stellenbosch:
Langverwacht Syrah ( Duncan Savage ) 25%
Reyneke Biodynamic Block Syrah 25 %
Middelvlei Syrah 50%
The fruit was harvested by hand and transported to Hemelrand ( Chris Alheit Cellar ) where Kevin personally vinified the batches separately before blending the different parcels. A stem retention of 15% was applied in the 500kg bins and all the punch downs (2 per day) were done by hand.
The fermentation was natural and no acid additions were made at all. Sulphur was added for the first time two months after the completion of MLF
Ageing took place in old (5th/6th Fill ) 225l French oak barrels
