Vinifikation The Aristargos 2021 consists predominantly of Chenin Blanc and old vine varieties (Chenin Blanc, Sémillon, Clairette Blanche, and Colombar), with the focus remaining on the granite soils of the Paardeberg. The Chenin Blanc originates from the shallow slate soils of the Paardeberg and the iron-rich clay soils west of Malmesbury; it is grown together with Viognier, while Marsanne, Roussanne, Verdelho, and Grenache Blanc grow on the iron-rich clay soils and slate soils in the Swartland. Colombar was also added. The age of the vines varies from 1960 to 2013. The grapes were whole-bunch pressed, naturally fermented, and then matured for 11 months in old neutral French oak barrels. The Sémillon grapes were fermented on the skins for a week before being pressed and matured for a year in a very old 2,500-liter foudre. The Colombar was also fermented on the skins (for 5 days) and aged in an old oak barrel. A portion of the Chenin Blanc fermented and matured in a concrete egg. In total, grapes from 19 different vineyards were used, harvested on 19 different days.
