Interesting Facts
This wine comes from the Platteklip vineyard, located atop the Piketberg mountain in northern Swartland. The grapes are planted on the sandstone soils of Table Mountain, atop a windswept peak overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, Table Mountain, and Paardeberg from 600 meters above sea level. It is here that Johan Meyer has been building his estate for the past five years. The grapes are hand-picked from very young, four-year-old vines. Upon arrival at the winery, they are chilled for 24 hours (at a temperature of 4°C). Fermentation lasts four days and uses 50% whole bunches. Dry ice is used to protect the must from oxidation. After fermentation, the must is pressed in a wooden basket press. The wine is aged in old oak barrels for 22 months.
