Wine of Origin Stellenbosch

GWS Lyngrove Chenin Blanc

Lyngrove Collection Chenin Blanc

VINEYARD

Drip-irrigation ensures optimal ripening. The vines are planted on south facing slopes in soils consisting of
weathered granite on clay and benefit from the cooling effect of the nearby Atlantic Ocean (False Bay) during the ripening season.

VINIFICATION

These perfectly ripe grapes were gently pressed to avoid any harsh phenols. After cold settling, the juice was then racked, fermented at cool temperatures and left on the lees for a couple of months to enhance depth of flavour.

FOOD PAIRING

Perfect aperitif and also pairs well with a variety of foods, including seafood dishes like chilli, lime and coriander prawns, or smoked salmon & dill crème fraiche.

GWS Lyngrove Merlot

Lyngrove Collection Merlot

VINEYARD

The 5ha vines were planted in the year 2000 with 2.5m row spacing. Soils consist of weathered granite on a clay base. The vines are drip-irrigated to ensure optimal ripening and trained on a 5-wire Perold trellis system. Vines benefit by having the cool breezes from the nearby Atlantic Ocean (False Bay) during the ripening season.

VINIFICATION

The grapes were picked at 25° balling early February when the pips were brown and the skins had no more unripe
tannins. The berries were crushed and cold-soaked for about 48hrs at 15°C, and then inoculated with suitable yeast that would bring out the best of the varietal. The must was fermented in stainless steel tanks with aeration every 4 hrs- this was done to extract all the colour and flavours from the must. Fermentation takes about 5 days at
temperatures between 24-29°C. Before bottling a small portion of oak matured Pinotage was blended in to add extra complexity.

FOOD PAIRING

Very enjoyable with wood fired pizza smothered in tomato, basil and goats cheese.

GWS Lyngrove Pinotage

Lyngrove Collection Pinotage

VINEYARD

The 6ha vines were planted in 2000 on (101-14) rootstock with 2.5m spacing. The vines are drip-irrigated to ensure optimal ripening and trained on the 5-wire Perold trellis system. Planted on soils consisting of weathered granite on clay, the vines are situated on northwest facing slopes. The nearby Atlantic Ocean (False Bay) has a cooling effect on the vineyards during the ripening season.

GROWING SEASON

In retrospect the season was very similar to 2015 with even less rain and drier conditions. Hot weather from mid-October through to end January restricted growth which in turn resulted in lighter bunches and concentrated berries with an average 15% decrease in yield. These conditions also led to healthier vineyards and disease free grapes with promising wines.

VINIFICATION

The grapes were picked at 25° balling early February when the pips were brown and the skins had no more unripe tannins. The berries were crushed and cold-soaked for about 48hrs at 15°C, and then inoculated with suitable yeast that would bring out the best of the varietal. The must was fermented in stainless steel tanks with aeration every 4 hrs- this was done to extract all the colour and flavours from the must. Fermentation takes about 5 days

FOOD PAIRING

Pair with spicy Lamb masala curry, served with chutney, assorted sambals and freshly baked naan bread.

GWS Lyngrove Sauvignon Blanc

Lyngrove Collection Sauvignon Blanc

VINEYARD

The 9ha vines were planted over the period of 2003 up to 2010 with 2.5m spacing. Soils consist of weathered granite on a clay base. The vines are drip-irrigated to ensure optimal ripening and trained on a 5-wire Perold trellis system. Vines benefit by having the cool breezes from the nearby Atlantic Ocean (False Bay) during the ripening season

VINIFICATION

The grapes were handpicked early morning in small lug boxes, from 21° balling up to 24.5° balling ripeness over a period of 3 weeks, starting end January. Oxidation was kept to the minimum to retain natural fruit flavours. Juice settled for 48 hours and was then fermented between 12-14°C for 14 days.

FOOD PAIRING

Mediterranean vegetable stack layered with lemon and oregano roasted potatoes, or grilled eggplant, roasted red peppers, asparagus and semi dried tomatoes drizzled with balsamic juice.

These 10ha of vines were planted in 2000 on (101-14) rootstock with 2.5m x 1.2m spacing. The vines are drip-irrigated to ensure optimal ripening and trained on the 5-wire Perold trellis system. Planted on soils consisting of weathered granite on clay, the vines are situated on northwest facing slopes. The nearby Atlantic Ocean (False
Bay) also has a cooling effect on the vineyards during the ripening season.

VINIFICATION

The grapes were picked at 25 balling early March when the pips was brown and the skins had no more bitter green tannins. Berries were crushed and cold-soaked for about 48 hours at 15°C, then inoculated with suitable yeast to bring out the best of the varietal. The must was fermented in stainless steel tanks with aeration
every 4 hours to extract all the intense colour and flavours from the skins. Fermentation took about 5 days at temperatures between 24-28°C.

FOOD PAIRING

Delectable served with wood fired pizza loaded with wild mushroom, drizzled with truffle oil and peppery
rocket.
