Description
CELLAR INFORMATION The aim with this wine was to take each of the five components and make a varietal wine in it’s own right. The wines were then tasted blind after one year in barrel. The wines that scored less than 90 points were not considered for the final blend. The percentage components of the blend were determined by the scores achieved in the blind tasting. The resultant cuvee is called De Compostella (‘The Compilation of Stars’). VINEYARD INFORMATION Soil Type 100% Decomposed Dolomite Granite; Age of Vines 9 – 22 years; Trellis vertical hedge. The grapes come from Stellenbosch and are grown only on decomposed dolomite granite and Table Mountain Sandstone soils. This lends itself to great acidity, freshness and an extended mineral finish.
