Connect the Dots 2021

Early morning harvests, into 14kg Lug boxes and transport grapes back to the cellar in refrigerated trucks where they are allowed to cool overnight. After gentle foot-stomping and crushing, the Agulhas fruit was fermented one third whole-bunch, Elgin 15% wholebunch and Stellenbosch 100% wholebunch. Natural fermentation gets underway in a combination of open and closed fermenters. Once complete, we macerate gently with a single, daily pumpover / punchdown.

Stellenbosch lends grip and florals; Elgin displays a more luxurious, spicy plumminess; and Darling brings an austere and savoury edge to the blend.
