Vinifikation The grapes for this wine were hand-selected and harvested from our very special Chardonnay clone block on our Robertson Estate. The soils have a rich natural limestone content and varying flavour profiles which contribute to the unique complexity and minerality in the base wines. Yields were between 8-10 t/ha. Cuvée juice (highest quality juice) was selected for fermentation. Of the Cuvée, 50% was fermented in special Piece Champenoise 205L barrels to ensure richness, additional flavour dimensions and a creamy texture. Only 7% new barrels are added each year to the rest of the older barrels to ensure harmony of wood integration during fermentation. After fermentation, the wine was matured in barrels for 3 months and then selectively blended with other parcels of the best Chardonnay fermented in stainless steel. The final blended base wine was then bottled for the second fermentation with a yeast contact of at least 48 months before disgorgement.
