The greatest skill of a winemaker is giving wine a sense of place, telling the story of your land through your wines. To achieve this your feet, need to be planted deep into your earth, becoming one with your vines, feeling their pulse and listening to their whispers.

The end result is wine that is Infused by Earth.

The Infused by Earth is composed out of 2 bocks of bush vine vineyards. Both blocks are planted right at the top of the Eikendal farm into decomposed granite. Clones CY548 and CY95. The soil is 60-80cm deep with gravel mixed into the granite. White clay which is very significant in that all organic matter has been washed out. The vines are planted facing the south-easter wine head on all the time, receives cool air at night from false bay and because of the granite and clay, the vines stay in survival mode which carries the message of the terroir well. Yields are extremely low, but of excellent quality and produces 0.8-1kg grapes per vine.

VINIFICATION:

The grapes were hand-picked into 18kg lug boxes and were whole bunch pressed. No settling of the juice and went straight into stainless steel tanks. 50% of spontaneous fermentation in the tanks. The last 50% of fermentation was done 60% in 500l new barrel and 40% in granite amphora. This means fermenting and ageing granite in granite. 18 months of aging. No fining or filtration, natural settling of the wine.

The Cabernet Sauvignon is, true to Eikendal's signature style, sophisticated and full-bodied. Whiffs of ripe berries, dark chocolate, spices and pencil shavings greet you on the nose. On the palate, silky tannins await, complemented by a fruitiness and delicate oak flavors with a lingering aftertaste.

The Stellenbosch vineyards were planted in 2004 in "Koffieklip" ("Coffee Stone") soil with a clay layer 1m deep on the lower, western slopes of the Helderberg. With a maritime microclimate, the winters are wet and cold, and in summer the heat is tempered by a cool and fresh breeze from the Atlantic Ocean in False Bay.

VITIFICATION:

The vineyards (Cabernet Sauvignon Clones 163 and 46) were planted in an east-west row direction. The planting is 1.2m x 2.4m in vertical shoot positioning with spur pruning. The canopy height is approximately 1.4m with vines approximately 40cm off the ground.

Irrigation is restricted in order to produce grapes with concentrated characteristics of this special variety. Sugar loading, berry aromatic sequence, PH and TA are used to determine phenolic ripeness and picking dates.

VINIFICATION:

The grapes were hand-picked into 18kg lug boxes to prevent crushing and to lower risk of contamination. The grapes was destemmed, hand-sorted and gently transferred to tank by conveyer not to extract harsh tannins. Cold soaking started, followed by spontaneous fermentation, after which it is inoculated with pure yeast to assure clean fermentation and create pure aromas and taste. 3 - 4 pumpovers per day combined with punch downs and oxygen sparge. After fermentation we add some structure to the wine with 2 weeks of extended maceration, followed with a gentle press to recover 650L per ton. The wine underwent malolactic fermentation in a tank and then racked to barrels for aging. The wine was then aged for 18 months in 300l oak barrels, 15% new oak used.

All 3 cultivars were kept separate until blending before bottling. Cold soaking started, followed by spontaneous fermentation, after which it is inoculated with yeast to assure clean fermentation. 3 - 4 pump overs per day combined with punch downs and oxygen sparge occurred. After fermentation we add some structure to the wine with 2 weeks of extended maceration, followed with a gentle press to recover 650L per ton.

Eikendal Rosé - Bulk purchase | MOQ 6 X 750ML Bottles

USD 33.41

The Eikendal Rosé, with its charming light onion skin hue has delightful rose petal, fresh strawberries and raspberry flavors on the nose, that follows through to the palate. The wine has a full mouthfeel, with an understated acidity, and a long, pleasing finish.

The vineyards lie 155m above sea level. The terroir of all four cultivars consists of decomposed granite. There are four specific blocks used for this alluring Rosé, planted especially with rosé production in mind. With a maritime microclimate, the winters are wet and cold, and in summer the heat is tempered by a cool and fresh breeze from the Atlantic Ocean in False Bay.

VITIFICATION:

Only one block of 0,73ha of Grenache Noir and 0,73ha of Mourvèdre was planted in 2012. The 0,26ha of Cinsault was planted in 2016 on the Eikendal farm. The trellising for the Grenache and Cinsault is the vine by post system and the Mourvèdre is planted as bush vines without any trellising. Both these methods allow maximum sunlight and airflow through the vines to create a healthy vine and good light penetration from all sides.

VINIFICATION:

In the middle of February, the Grenache was picked first at 22,3°B and Mourvèdre at 21,8°B one day apart. The Cinsault and Merlot was harvested a day after at 21,6°B. Grapes were handpicked early in the morning to retain as much fresh flavors as possible. A portion of the grapes were destemmed, crushed and left in the press for an hour longer to extract a bit more color and complexity but the biggest portion underwent a delicate whole bunch press cycle to preserve the delicate flavors and structure of this rosé. Grenache Noir and Cinsault both had an orange color with pressing and the Mourvèdre had a light pink color. Each year the yield per block of the three varietals will differ and as a result the percentages on the label will also change correspondingly. After one night of settling the juice was carefully drawn from the primary lease. It was clarified right after fermentation and bottled very early to ensure vibrant flavors with a good acidity and mouthfeel.

Chardonnay Clone 277 was specifically used for the MCC. The vineyards have been trellised in the VSP system. Plant spacing is 2.4 x 1m. Vines are under irrigation, using the Leaf Water Potential method to measure water stress in the grapes.

VITIFICATION:

Canopy was kept closed throughout the growing season to ensure minimal light intensity and as a result fresh acidity and remarkable concentrated flavors in the grapes. We picked the grapes early at approximately 19°B.

VINIFICATION:

The grapes were hand-picked in small crates and cooled down to 1°C before a gentle, whole bunch pressing with total focus on maintaining fruit purity and delicate aromatics. Only the finest heart of the press juice was used for this noble MCC. Settled for two nights.

Fermentation in stainless steel took place at approximately 12°C, relying solely on naturally present, wild yeasts. After fermentation the base wine was kept on the gross lees for six months. The wine was then bottled for secondary fermentation and aged two years on the lees in the bottle, before it was riddled, disgorged and finally bottled.

Settled after 24 hour and racked to a combination of stainless-steel tank, cement-and plastic eggs where it underwent alcoholic fermentation. The NTU was monitored while racking in order to keep it at 200NTU for better mouth feel and adding volume to the end product. Before alcoholic fermentation finished 30% of the wine went into barrels for Malolactic fermentation to also give some creaminess to the wine.

The rest of the wine only went to barrel after fermentation. The wine went through baton age every 2 weeks for 3 months. This Chardonnay spent a total of 10 months in 500l French Oak barrels, 20% new oak, the rest second and third fill barrels.
