Description
The Kaaimansgat or Crocodile’s Lair vineyard is hidden away in the Elands Kloof Valley behind the village of Villiersdorp, just 80km from Hermanus. A beautiful spot inside a blind valley nestled amongst majestic mountains. Bouchard Finlayson has been linked directly to this vineyard for close to twenty-four years. It is located 700m above sea level, ripens a month later than other Cape Chardonnays and benefits enormously from cool autumn temperatures. The vines are not irrigated and they produce small berries of high skin to juice ratio, which adds an extra flavour component to this superior wine.
VINIFICATION
The Riesling grape offers a solid frame to this blend where its content is 65% of the cuvée. This noble white wine variety is an unusual contribution to a Cape white blend, but it does assist in establishing a singular personality to the wine. Add to this a 16% Viognier component and its exclusivity profile is further enhanced. These two diverse elements are married with 18% Chardonnay. The grapes were lightly pressed and clear juice was fermented cold, where the eventual wine was left to evolve on the primary lees until blended and prepared for bottling.
