Product Description:
Kokerboom is one of the richest wines Eben Sadie produces, with sheer volume and massive texture. The Semillon ripens very well in this area due to the high sun exposure. The 2023 Kokerboom shows the typical waxy, lanolin-like character often associated with Semillon. For the second year in a row, we had very little rain in the Citrusdal mountains, and the vineyard was in a stressful environment throughout the growing season. We once again opted to harvest the vineyard a little earlier than we naturally would, and the wine still has 14% alcohol; despite its fresh appearance, it is a mammoth wine. The tannins, the acidity, the overall texture, and the volume of the wine are incredible, and we are impressed by the power of this terroir.

Vinifikation The Kokerboom vineyard consists of 80% white Semillon and 20% Semillon Gris. They are harvested and pressed together simultaneously. This wine is one of the richest that Eben Sadie produces, with pure volume and massive texture. The Semillon ripens very well in this area due to the high sun exposure. The grapes are harvested in the Citrusdal Mountains, and it is a major logistical challenge to transport them to the cellar. The journey from the vineyard takes 4.5 hours, so the grapes only arrive at the winery and into the cold room at the end of the day. They are sorted the next morning and pressed within a 3-hour period, then filled into old wooden barrels for fermentation. Since the Kokerboom vineyard is poor in natural nitrogen and yeast nutrients, it takes 10 days for fermentation to begin and it finishes after about 6-8 months. By then, malolactic fermentation will also be complete. The Kokerboom remains in the barrel on its lees for the entire 12 months before being racked.
