Vigneron's Notes
A subtle and delicate integration of 5 cultivars. This Cape Blend is Hugo’s interpretation and expression of a cooler-climate expression, utilising exclusively Free-Run components in this blend.
Separate picking components undergo an extended temperature-controlled fermentation and maceration in open-topped 500L vats. Free Run components, collected through the basket press, were individually matured in aged French oak barrels for 26 months before being selectively combined.
Where-as the Les Grandes Horisontales 2020 is a collection of phenolically – integrated expressions from the Lightly-Pressed components, this Cape Blend 2020 showcases the opposite end of the potential spectrum of these grapes.
