Painted Wolf Solo Roussanne 2022
R266.00
We always find that our Roussannes age particularly well, and this wine will become even more interesting and complex over the next ten years.
Roussanne is grown by Willy Mostert on the south-eastern side of the Paardeberg. The vines are planted on decomposed granite soils.
The grapes were hand-harvested at a riper-than-usual stage, whole-bunch pressed,and fermented slowly with natural yeast. The wine spent 8 months in a 500-litre barrel, with daily stirring of the lees.
Alc: 13.94% | R.S: 2.4g/l | T.A:5.9 g/l | Ph: 3.17

Description
This wine is named for Solo of the Serengeti, the Painted Wolf (African wild dog) pup who inspired Hugo van Lawick and Jane Goodall’s ground- breaking 1978 film and book about the species. The name Solo was also given to a lone wild dog at Mombo in the Okavango about whom a fascinating documentary was made. Roussanne, native to the warmer regions of France’s Rhône valley, is a relative newcomer and still very rare in South Africa. There are fewer than 10 South African producers and we are proud to be ranked among the top.
