Vinifikation
The Cavalli Estate is located in the Stellenbosch Wine Appellation on the road between Stellenbosch and Somerset West. Since its opening 5 years ago, Cavalli has not only been a destination for good wine and excellent food but also for its art and, as the estate's name suggests, for horses. The estate's first-class equestrian facilities adorn the entrance to the estate as you drive up through the 100-hectare wine estate. Craig Barnard has been leading the winemaking at Cavalli Estate since 2014, establishing the estate as one of the most dynamic young producers in the famous "Golden Triangle" of Stellenbosch wine lands. With his fifth harvest in the cellar, Barnard is firmly focused on Chenin Blanc and Cabernet Sauvignon. To choose the right time for Craig to harvest the grapes, regular vineyard tasting takes place, as he likes to pick the grapes with good acidity, which he believes gives them a "piece of backbone". Oak is carefully used to support the fabulous fruit in the Cavalli. The grapes are crushed and destemmed and undergo 24 hours of cold maceration before fermentation. During fermentation, the grapes are pumped over three times a day to extract the color and develop the tannins. The skins remain on the wine for 3 weeks after fermentation before pressing. After that, the Colt matures for 24 months in French oak barrels, consisting of 30% new wood, 40% second-fill, and 30% third-fill.
