Information about "Beau Constantia Pierre 2024"
Harvest 2024 showcases a remarkable chapter in the story of Beau Constantia Pierre, a Sauvignon Blanc that thrives in the unique conditions of a cool climate. Grown high on steep northeast slopes, these low-yielding, wind-swept vines produce fruit with extraordinary concentration. An enticing bouquet of star jasmine, lime peel, and lemongrass unveils a lively palate enriched with notes of white peaches and lychees that resonate beautifully. This exquisite expression embodies a relentless spirit and its unique terroir.
The grapes were processed in small batches, undergoing a four-day cold maceration on the skins. This was followed by a natural fermentation and an additional nine days on the skins before being transferred to one new and one second-fill French oak barrel. After an 18-hour maceration, the grapes were pressed into two clay amphorae for co-fermentation: one porcelain and one terracotta, contributing to 59% of the blend. All batches matured for eight months on their coarse lees before bottling.
