Vinification
The grapes come from bush vines in the Swartland region. The grapes were handpicked at 22˚ - 24˚ Balling. After crushing, the juice was clarified and inoculated with pure yeast culture. The wine was left on its fermentation lees for 3 months before bottling
Vineyard: Riebeek Valley
The vineyards from which the fruit was sourced are situated on the north-eastern slopes of the Kasteelberg, planted in harsh mountain soil some 322 m above sea level. The dryland, trellised vineyards face in north-westerly and south- easterly directions and thereby benefit from optimum sunlight to produce an abundance of complex flavours.
Soil Type
The soil on this Swartland farm are a mixture of shale and weathered sandstone - a story structure which is crucial to the particular character of Allesverloren wines
Viticulture
