Mill Race Red 2022

Best paired with a bowl of creamy risotto or peppery grilled fillet.

ORIGIN

Sourced from north- and north-westerly vineyards at Vergelegen, where soil types of granite, Hutton and weathered shale dominate.

VINIFICATION

Grapes from various vineyards were hand-picked and sorted. The grapes were then fermented in stainless steel tanks of various sizes, using a combination of different yeasts according to the varietals and soil types. Post-fermentation, according to the varietal, we used various extended skin contact treatments. Post-skin contact, malolactic fermentation was completed in stainless steel tanks, and wine was taken to barrel. We used 15% new French oak of various sizes, where the wine was matured for 12 months, then blended and bottled.
