In the Vineyard
The grapes were sourced from the vineyards in the Swartland region and these trellised vineyards grow on koffieklip and oakleaf soils. The yields are managed down to below 6 tons per hectare
Winemaking
Grapes were picked by hand very early in the morning allowing the fruit to retain its natural flavour. Free-run juice used, allowed to settle for two days and inoculated selected yeast strains, fermenting under controlled conditions at 12-grade Celsius. Afer fermentation the wine was left on the lees before bottling.
Food Pairing
This wine pairs well with spicy dishes such as Malay dishes. It is also great with light seafood dishes and salads
Here at OneDayOnly we pride ourselves on two things:
Our remarkable ability to remember quotes from practically any movie, and our skill in catering to almost any person in South Africa.
The latter is the harder of the two, because A) we haven't met everyone in the R of SA and 2) our personal tastes can hardly be used as a benchmark for things other people may enjoy.
Still, through sheer determination and never-miss-an-episode viewings of Egoli and Generations, we like to think we hit the proverbial nail on the head more often than not.
And in the almost unfathomable event that we're completely wrong and nothing on our cyber-shelves appeals to you, we'd like to leave you with the following gem from Lord of the Rings:
"Use the force, Harry." - Edward Cullen.
