In The Cellar

Biodynamic grapes were hand harvested and cooled overnight before processing. e grapes were whole-bunch pressed, and the juice was naturally settled overnight. Spontaneous fermentation took place in older oak barrels. Once fermentation was complete, the wine was topped up and le to age undisturbed on the lees for eight months without the addition of sulphur. Aer ageing, the wine was racked and blended. is wine is a pure and expressive snapshot of a Reyneke white blend.
