Terroir
Soil Type: Koffeeklip, a iron rich gravelly soil.
Harvest
Age of Vines: Planted in 2007. Ginny's maiden vintage of Pinot Grigio from her neighbor Deon Joubert's vineyard. Harvest started very early in 2026. The fruit was 23 Balling and the wine has a nice phenolic profile that may have been missing had she picked any earlier. The grapes were hand harvested, destemmed, then gently pressed to stainless tank.
Vinification
Maloactic fermentation occured during primary fermentation. She added 4% Albarino/Chenin Blanc to lift the acidity and aromatics. Because she had never used 1.5L bagnums, she had made two
"bottlings/fillings" to preserve the freshness of the wines.
Tasting Notes
The packaging is practical for camping, sailing, picnics or any adventure you can think of.
Food Pairing
Pairs well with grilled meats/fish and veggies as well as enjoyed on its own or with cheese and crackers.
