Region: Western Cape < South Africa
Grape: Maria Gomes (AKA Fernão Pires)
Vineyard/Cellar Stats: Organic farming; grapes are destemmed and crushed into an open-top fermenter, cold-soaked 48 hours, then brought outside to warm under the sun and initiate spontaneous fermentation. 2/3 way through fermentation, juice is pressed, transferred to neutral barrel with a small amount of press wine added to the same barrel. Spends 7 months here on gross lees then bottled, unfined/unfiltered, with <18ppm added S02; 11.5% ABV; 120 cases
