Vinifikation Ferrum is a masterfully crafted masterpiece by the gifted winemaker Peter-Allan Finlayson. The grapes come from a single vineyard in the Shaw’s Mountain area, one of his own vineyards. In 2017, the Sauvignon Blanc vines here were grafted over to Chardonnay, meaning Chardonnay scions were grafted onto the already deep-rooted vines. The site is warmer than most of the Overberg, which allows the grapes to ripen more quickly. These were pressed whole and without any addition of enzymes or sulfur. After a short settling period, the must underwent spontaneous fermentation in 300 and 500-liter wooden barrels with 20% new oak, where it also completed malolactic fermentation and was allowed to mature for another 10 months. A magnificent vintage with great aging potential.
