Viticulturist: Johnathan Grieve
Vineyards: 7 to 12 year old vines
Yield: 6 to 8 tons per hectare
Winemaking: The grapes were harvested from south-facing vineyards in Devon Valley, and east-facing vineyards in Paarl at between 21°B and 24°B. Half of the grapes were harvested into press, settled and then fermented at 16°C until dry. The other 50% of the grapes were fermented as whole bunches and pressed after the juice was fermentation dry. Lees contact of up to five months occurred. Ageing: This wine will come onto its own after a year in bottle and may age well for up to 5 years. Most interesting would be see how the undertones of grass and asparagus age in this wine. Name: Owner Johnathan Grieve uses a “posse” of Peking ducks to patrol the vineyards and to eat snails. This is a natural and environmentally friendly way of killing pests. These ducks epitomizes our natural “green” way of farming and making wine at Avondale – a methodology we have named Bio-LOGIC. Analysis:
