VERDELHO

 

Verdelho is a really interesting variety to farm within South Africa.

 

It loves heat and has this unique characteristic of maintaining high acid levels in really ripe conditions. This is a variety that you need to keep an eye on during harvest. It gains sugar at an immense rate with the challenge of picking it before it gets too ripe.

 

The grapes were picked at optimal ripeness and cooled overnight to 4 degrees celsius. The next morning the grapes were pressed as whole bunches. The juice underwent spontaneous fermentation in concrete egg shaped tanks and older French oak barrels. Deep winter the wine received one sulfur addition. 10 months on the leese, blended and bottled.
