Winemaker Notes
Scared is what you feel, BRAVE is what you do 2021!
Grown in the Helderberg Vineyard - right next to Somerset West. Decomposed granitic soil down the mountain at 190 meters above sea level protected against the South Easter. The grapes were picked at optimal ripeness and cooled overnight to 4 degrees celsius. The next morning the grapes were destemmed to open top fermenters. The juice underwent spontaneous fermentation and stayed on the skins for as long as possible. Pressed into French oak small barrels - 40% new oak, 18 months in barrel, blended and bottled.
