On the palate

The profile of this wine is based on the vines planted on a variation ofShale and Clay based soils and the wine therefore expresses the broad richness of the clay on the palate and aromatic tropical fruit and mineral character on the nose. The Semillon shows white floral notes and pear drop, with a hint of lemon grass character and a full mineral follow through on the palate.

The heart of our conviction is simple yet deliberate. Trust the Site. 20 years ago, Peter Clarke founded the farm up in the cool heights of the Hemel-en-Aarde Ridge. Here, in a natural and beautiful ampitheatre, he chose the purity of planting dryland vineyards on virgin soils. Each block is exposed to unique aspects of soil and climate, rewarding us with layered and complex fruit that provides the foundation for our wines that are unveiled in our cellar to reveal their full expression of terroir and vintage.

These Walker Bay vineyards of Hemel- en - Aarde Ridge are situated within close proximity to the Atlantic Ocean. The maritime climate being more temperate in style, where parallel mountain ranges channel the southerly sea breezes through the appellation during the summer. These winds in turn bring regular sea mists and overcast conditions to the valley and with it more even temperatures. The average temperature is 19° C and rainfall, approximately, 750mm per year. All grapes were harvested by hand in cool early morning temperatures. The grapes were picked at varying stages of ripeness throughout early to mid-March in order to achieve a more complex wine profile.

These batches of Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon grapes are harvested early in the morning and then de-stemmed and crushed at cold temperatures. The skins are pressed lightly, and the juice left to settle for a period of 48 hours at 10° C. The Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon are spontaneously fermented separately in stainless steel tanks and maintained at temperatures between 12-18° C until the wine is dry. After fermentation, the wines are racked off the gross lees and blended.
