Vinifikation The mountainous On Sandstone site consists of fractured sandstone, which makes viticulture incredibly difficult. This unforgiving environment naturally leads to low vine vigour and minimal yields. The result is a complex, unique wine. The grapes were hand-picked and taken in small lug boxes directly to Gabrielskloof’s cold room, where they remained overnight. Approximately 60% of the harvest was destemmed, the rest remained as whole bunches. The wine was spontaneously fermented in small, open-top fermenters and left on the skins for a long period after fermentation. The wine matured for 18 months in 500-litre barrels, with 10% new French oak used.
