tannins. The wine was drained off at dryness, and the skins transferred to a small press. After pressing
the wine was settled for two days, and then racked to stainless steel tanks for malolactic fermentation.

cooler temperatures and small, naturally balanced and concentrated berries. Made by Waterkloof's
talented young Cellarmaster Nadia Barnard. Balanced grapes are hand harvested, fermented
spontaneously with wild yeast and then raised in large wooden casks (or 'foudre' en Francais). The
resulting wine therefore, is perhaps more 'Pino' than 'Tage'. No additions other than sulphur as a
preservative. Grown, made and bottled in South Africa. False Bay - Real Wine,

VINEYARDS
The vineyards are located at an altitude of 500 metres above sea
level. They are dry-farmed and the clay soil is poor, meaning that
the roots of the vines grow deep into the earth in their search for
minerals and nutrients. This helps to ensure healthy, ripe, full of
flavour grapes. The Monastrell vineyards are over 18 years old,
while the Syrah vines are slightly younger, averaging around 15
years.
VINIFICATION
The grapes were gently crushed before being fermented and
macerated on their skins for 10 days at a controlled temperature
of 24-26ºC in stainless-steel tanks. After fermentation the wine was
aged very briefly in oak to round out the tannins. The delicate
grape processing preserved the natural fruit purity and freshness
that is so typical of the Molino Loco style.
