Gedeelte Wines Vin John 50cl 2018

13.5% abv

Vol- 50cl

A rich nose of honey, nuts, caramel and freshly baked bread. Pairs perfectly with an 18 year old Comté cheese or a Bisque d’ Hommard.

Estate Sauvignon Blanc grapes are used which were planted in 2002 even though Savagnin grapes are traditionally used. After harvesting, the grapes are crushed and left exposed to the skin for several hours. Hereafter, the grapes are pressed and transferred to temporary tanks for a couple of days until moved to French oak barrels. The natural climate, temperature and culture in the cellar, allows the production of this Jura-style wine using French Oak barrels to allow the wine to form a veil to naturally mature until the final bottling process.
This Johra matures after a period of a little over three years, which is notably shorter than the maturing of the famous “Vin Jaune” wine, which traditionally could take as long as six years or more to reach its maturity.

Gedeelte Wines is a unique wine farm situated in the St Helena Bay region on South Africa's West Coast. The vineyards are planted in the flattened sea sands filled with limestone 4km's from the cold Atlantic. The farm Brakkuil was established in the early 1800's whilst the first grapes (Barbarossa and Palomino) were planted here in 1978. The original wine cellar is still in use today and was built in 1948 after the end of World War II. In 2002, farm owner Wimpie Bouwer (father to now winemaker John Bouwer) planted 6ha of the first Sauvignon Blanc vines which today is used to produce a unique Sauvignon Blanc matured under veil. Brakkuil farm's soil/terroir is largely sea sand with limestone at the bottom which allows us to gain low PH levels in our wines It is important for them to create something unique. A trend that dates back to when traditional winemaking began. Because of this ther craft wine by understanding the culture of the grape and follow a one-on-one interaction from the vineyard all the way through to the bottling process.
