About the Producer

Silvermyn’s vines cling to the steep slopes of Simonsburg’s south-eastern face some 320-540m above sea level on thin, decomposed granite soils. The grapes were hand-harvested, crushed and destemmed. Skin contact of 6 hrs was given. The juice was then pressed and cold settled for 2 days at 8 C. It was inoculated with a terroir selected yeast strain. After fermentation the wine was left on the fine lees upon which it was clarified for bottling. There was no malolactic fermentation or wood aging.
