2022 SILT

The grapes were destemmed and fermented in a small, 1.4-ton open fermentation tank for the entire duration of the first fermentation, with the skins lightly removed once a day. Once the wine was dry, the skins and wine were transferred to open barrels and the barrels were resealed. The wine spent 90 days on the skins in the barrels until it was pressed at the end of May. The wine is bottled in the same year at the beginning of summer. The grapes are grown in the Olifantsrivier district on the west coast of South Africa. The soils are loamy alluvial soils with a high salt content and an average annual rainfall of only 160 mm in this area. These vineyards are planted with espalier vines. During the harvest, the grapes were picked early to preserve freshness, natural acidity and a lower alcohol content. No additives are used in the production of L EQUINOX WINES apart from a small dose of sulphur. Bottles produced: 517 units.
