Product Details
Made from Chenin Blanc and Sauvignon Blanc grapes, this fresh and fruity non-vintage sparkling wine was left on the lees (residual yeast) for almost two months prior to final blending. THE RANGE A superbly refreshing and fruity sparkling wine –
a most suitable partner to any celebration.
This wine is a blend of Chenin Blanc (80%) and Sauvignon
Blanc (20%).
VINEYARDS The grapes were sourced from vineyards across
the Western Cape. Planted between 1989 and 1994, the vines
are grown in irrigated, sandy riverbeds and decomposed granite
and situated some 60 m to 120 m above sea level.
WINEMAKING The grapes were harvested by hand at 19º to
20º Balling during the end of January and beginning of
February. The fruit was crushed and then cool-fermented in
temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks at 13ºC for a period
of two to three weeks. No skin contact was allowed and only the
free-run juice was used. The wine was left on the lees for almost
two months prior to final blending.
