We love working with the Truter family in South Africa's Western Cape. The granite soil descending into the Wellington valley provide the vines with a rich, organic, oak leaf topsoil that gives way to shale and alluvial soil. Hugo and family destem the grapes, press them and let them settle before fermentation. The reason for the extra depth of flavour in this popular wine is because the wine is racked and kept on its lees (sediment) for 2 months before bottling.
The Truter family are an absolute joy to work with. They run their Wellington farm with absolute commitment to conservation cultivation and their wines are personality driven, fruit forward and a delight to drink.
