SUMMARY:Longridge Ultra Premium with Jasper Raats
DESCRIPTION:Nestled against the slopes of Helderberg\, Longridge is the leading organic and biodynamic farm in Stellenbosch. Here they honour the age-old organic traditions by looking down into the earth\, making sure there are no harmful chemicals or toxins in the ancient\, decomposed granite soils\, or in the fresh mountain waters running down in cool underground aquafers from the Helderberg slopes. The cool Maritime breezes from the Atlantic ocean drifts in as morning mist\, ensuring the vineyards are enveloped in a cool blanket to protect them from the heat of the day. The biodynamic view also guides them to look at the sky and the phases of the moon\, and not just the soil. \nIn the cellar nothing is ever forced on the grapes. Natural winemaking techniques are used to ensure the story of the vineyards are guided to bottle as best as possible. \n“Our goal is to produce world-class wines in a natural way\, applying the age-old traditions of natural winemaking and respecting our land\, by not using any herbicides\, pesticides or chemical sprays.” Cellarmaster Jasper Raats \nJasper Raats is the shareholder\, cellar master and managing director of Longridge Wine Estate\, as well as partner in Vigneron Consulting\, an international consulting business.  Jasper first gained prominence for wines he created in New Zealand. In 2003\, he started working as viticulturist and winemaker at New Zealand’s Clos Henri in the Marlborough region\, developing a new vineyard and making wine for French Company\, Henri Bourgeois. During this period\, he also started Koru Wines\, which became one of New Zealand’s top and most expensive wines. \nHis international experience includes working in Burgundy\, Pouilly Fume\, Sancerre and in Napa and Sonoma under Pierre Seillan\, the genial French creator of Vérité Wines. \nJoin us as we taste the Ultra Premium wines of Longridge with Jasper\nWe start with Cap Classique Brut NV\, made from 100% Verdelho\, on the deck at 5:30pm.\nFollowed by a sit down tutored tasting at 6pm\nOu Steen Chenin Blanc 2023\nClos du Ciel Chardonnay 2022\nEstate Chardonnay 2022\nEkliptika Bordeaux Blend 2020\nMisterie 2017\nMaandans Pinotage 2020\nEstate Pinotage 2020 \nBooking is essential as seats are limited
