Winemaker's Notes
7.632 tonnes of Chenin Blanc grapes were picked at a Baumé of 13 on the estate on February 24, 2011. They were brought straight to the winery from the vineyard and crushed, pressed and pumped into stainless steel, refrigerated tanks for settling. The clear juice was then racked to fermenters for alcohol fermentation. This process took 25 days. The wine was then protein and cold stabilized and subject to a fining procedure. After this the wine was filtered and ready for bottling in August 2011. 711 cases were made.
