Gabrielskloof Era René 2024

R476.00

The 2024 harvest was characterized by a wet winter and spring, which fostered vigorous vineyard growth, whilst challenging weather conditions during flowering resulted in lower yields. The fruit is from two vineyards on the farm. The first vineyard (about 50% of the fruit) was planted to Semillon in 2004 and grafted to Chenin Blanc in 2016, and the rest is from a bushvine vineyard planted in 2018.

All fruit was whole-bunch pressed and 100% wild-fermented. Fermented and matured in older 400- and 500L barrels. The wine spent nine months on its lees before being blended and bottled.

The nose opens with limes, yellow cling peaches, and kumquat, as well as a delicate white floral note. A weighty, textured palate delivers golden delicious apples, pistachio, and a touch of vanilla, all refreshingly cut by zippy acidity and a saline finish.

Alc 13% | RS 2.3 | TA 5.7 | pH 3.12
