The grapes were handpicked and 3 separate components were produced. A portion of the Grenache was direct pressed in a Blanc de Noir style whilst the remainder was processed as a traditional skin-fermented red wine. A third component underwent 24 hour skin contact before a volume of juice was drawn off in the traditional Saignee method. The 3 components were vinified separately, natural fermentation from the indigenous yeast was encouraged generally lasting 14 – 18 days, which was followed by malolactic fermentation. The components were blended and aged in 2600L older French oak vats for 9 months before blending.

Description
Lalela in Zulu simply means “Come Listen” and is a project from winemaking power couple Wade Sander and Natasha Williams. The venture aims to tell the untold story of all of the people in South Africa and their influence and participation across the four hundred years of winemaking history in South Africa. Through each bottle of wine Lalela shares stories and reflections of the Cape Winelands inspired by the people, traditions, and heritage. Wade and Natasha have used their combined two decades of experience to source exceptional fruit from across the Western Cape that they process at their sharded facility in the Hemel en Aarde Valley. Lalela is in one of the most exciting projects to come out of the Western Cape to date from two of the most sought after young winemakers in South Africa. Lalela is currently a limited production project.
