Vinifikation Our noble Late Harvest builds on a legacy of winemaking that continues to the present day, with strong family viticultural traditions carried on in every bottle of Chenin d'Muscat. This natural sweet wine is the only wine still bearing the original 1928 label. The vines are located on our Bottelary property. It is a blend of over 50-year-old Chenin Blanc bush vines and over 70-year-old Muscat de Alexandrie trellised vines. The grapes are allowed to be infected by Botrytis before harvesting. For this reason, the Muscat is only harvested in May after the first winter rains, where harvesting normally finishes at the end of March in Stellenbosch. The grapes are crushed and some skin contact is allowed for extraction. The juice is filled directly into barrels and naturally fermented over a period of 2 to 3 weeks. The Chenin Blanc and Muscat ferment separately, and the wine is blended after 12 months in the barrel.
