Vinifikation Cartology parcels are typically dry-farmed bush vine parcels. The minimum age is 30 years, though most are between 40-50 years old. Average yields for these parcels are around 3 tons/Ha or about 20 hl/Ha. The Cartology 2021 is 90% Chenin Blanc and 10% Sémillon. The Chenin comes from our parcels in Skurfberg, Perdeberg, Bottelary, Upper Blaauwklippen, False Bay, and Tygerberg. The Sémillon comes from the old La Colline block in Franschhoek. The grapes are hand-sorted and pressed as whole bunches. The juice is settled very lightly (we like very turbid raw juice), with no additions to the raw juice, spontaneous fermentation either in concrete eggs, clay amphorae, foudres, or old barrels (various sizes). Fermentation can take between 3 weeks and 11 months. The wine is aged on its gross lees for about 12 months, and then settled for another six months in tank on its fine lees without fining before bottling.
