Lismore Estate Vineyards | South Africa | Western Cape |
Vineyard | This wine is grown on Rose-Quartz soils in Elgin, a cool, high altitude plateau. The region offers a lengthened ripening period which brings the grapes late into season- often 3-4 weeks later than traditional wine growing areas in South Africa. This provides the opportunity to develop deep complexity and concentration. |
---|---|
Vinification | The grapes were picked and whole bunch pressed, slowly extracting the juice at a rate of 550ltrs per ton. The juice was settled for 48 hours and was racked into older, neutral 225 litre Burgundian barrels, and a 1500 litre concrete egg for fermentation and maturation lasting 10 months The “egg” component is 20% of the production. |
