Mother Rock Chenin Blanc Kweperfontein Swartland 2021

The fruit was handpicked after Stompie’s taste test determined the acidity, structure, and aromas were in the right place. The fruit was whole-bunch basket pressed at a very low pressure direct to 16hL concrete egg. Pre-fermentation oxidation was allowed to add complexity and age-ability.

There the fermentation kicked off with the gross lees in perpetual motion throughout the fermentation and then moving throughout the wine during the aging. After 16 months the wine was sent directly to the bottling line without fining, filtration or SO2 additions.
