Deep Rooted Wines Blanc Fumé 2023

R220 ()

This wine tells the story of how I came to find the place that I call home. After seven years of challenging exploration, working and immersing myself in many great wine regions around the world, I came home and discovered the incredible cool-climate vineyards of Walker Bay. The wildness of this place, from its abundance of fynbos to the roaring wind and sea, creates a desolate landscape that is difficult to cultivate and requires a close relationship with nature in order to thrive.

Vineyards

Walker Bay, Western Cape

Winemaking and Maturation

Two thirds whole bunch pressed while the last portion was given 24 hours skin contact prior to pressing. The juice was left to settle overnight before racking to old 400 & 500 litre french oak barrels. Fermentation occurred naturally and the wine was left on its gross lees for 10 months before blending and bottling. This wine is made without any added Sulphites.

Tasting Notes

Ultimately, the ocean and our cooler climate shine through with Kiwi fruit, green melon, a hint of blackcurrant and oyster shell on the nose while the palate is rich and broad with layers of flavour, coated acidity and a gently savoury finish.
