2019
WINE OF ORIGIN
Walker Bay – Cape South Coast
VINTAGE CONDITIONS
Exceptional quality and record low yields characterised 2019. Lower yields made for an earlier than usual start to picking. Berries being smaller and bunches lighter made for good flavor intensity, high natural acidity and structure in the wine. Overall the vintage was cooler than 2017 and even 2018, with an average maximum of 24.5 Centigrade during the ripening season (versus an equivalent long-term average for Burgundy of
24.5 Centigrade).
