More Information

Miles Mossop explains "All stories have a beginning. This range of wines is an Introduction to our story and our wines". The grapes originate from a 35 year old un-irrigated bush vine vineyard in Stellenbosch planted on decomposed granitic soils with high gravel content and a 50 year un-irrigated bush vine vineyard planted on decomposed granite soils in the Paardeberg in the Swartland region. The Stellenbosch vineyard was picked at full ripeness at the beginning of March. While the Swartland fruit is picked early in February for the minerality it gives to the wine.The fruit was whole-bunch pressed to tank for settling without enzymes overnight. The juice was racked directly to barrel the following day. The fermentation commenced with natural yeasts and took three weeks to complete. The wines spent nine months in used 400L barrels on the gross lees with regular lees stirring. The wine underwent partial malolactic fermentation and was bottled under screw cap in January 2015
