Appellation
Simonsberg Paarl
Winemaking
Process All components fermented separately and only blended before bottling. Shiraz and the Mourvedre were fermented in 5000L open top tanks with regular punchdowns throughout the fermentation process to maximise colour and flavour extraction from the skins. The Viognier was pressed and sent to 225l barrels for natural fermentation. A portion of the Viognier skins were added to the Shiraz tank to further extract the floral, spiciness from the Viognier.
Maturation
The Shiraz and Mourvedre spent 12 months in 225l French oak barrels, 3rd & 4th fill as not to overpower the delicate, elegant flavours in this blend. The Viognier fermented and matured in 225l French oak 2nd fill barrels for 6 months.
