WINEMAKER
Guy Webber
BACKGROUND
Stellenzicht’s Hill&Dale label offers a range of accessibly styled wines with a New World character for international appeal, created by award-winning winemaker Guy Webber. Despite their being made for early and easy enjoyment, Webber has eschewed a generic format for these wines, instead choosing to clearly express their origins.
Grapes for Hill&Dale are selected exclusively from Stellenbosch vineyards. An extensive vineyard management programme is in place that includes the input from worldrenowned winemaker, viticulturist and researcher, Pascal Chatonnet and also South Africa’s vineyard guru Dr Eben Archer.
The name for the range was derived from Stellenzicht’s Hillandale farm located just outside the town of Stellenbosch.
VINEYARD LOCATION
Grapes were sourced mainly from trellised vineyards established in soils of Granitic origin. The vines planted in 1994 and 1982, yielded an average of 7,5 tons per hectare. Pinotage is generally an early-ripening variety, which thrives on full sunlight and slightly higher temperatures. The 2006 vintage was an excellent year with very few problems yielding fleshy, light tannined wines.
Viticulturist: Eben Archer
THE WINEMAKING
The grapes were harvested by hand at between 23° and 24° Balling before being de-stemmed and crushed. Fermentation took place in closed stainless-steel tanks, with selected yeast strains, at between 28° and 30°C.
After fermentation the wine was racked and inoculated with pure strains of malolactic culture. The wine was matured in a combination of French, Eastern European and American oak barrels for 16 months.
WINEMAKER'S COMMENTS
Colour
Dark ruby with purple edges.
Bouquet
Medley of darker berries
Taste
Medium to full-bodied. Good concentration of raspberry fruitiness and slightly austere on the finish. Soft, ripe tannins add to a very pleasant finish that lingers.
Ageing potential
The wine will soften up and improve over 3 years and hold well for further 3 – 5.
Food Pairing
Very versatile, this wine will complement game casseroles, red and white meat, spicy fish dishes and even dark chocolate.
