Name: Noble Hill Estate Reserve White 2021

Description: From high on the slopes of the Simonsberg mountains, this unique
blend of Grenache Blanc, Marsanne, Chenin Blanc, and Viognier
reflects the terroir of our granite soil with dried apricot and pear
aromas and a complex mineral flavour.
In the vines
Each component of the reserve blend carries different varietal
characteristics and reflects slight soil differences between different
vineyards on the estate. It is a true reflection of our terroir. Our
Grenache Blanc (47%) grows as untrellised bush vines, giving the
grapes even sun exposure and providing the blend with a ripe, sunkissed taste. Marsanne (35%) provides an unctuous weight to the
palate. Our heritage Chenin Blanc (15%) adds balanced acidity,
herbaceous aromas, and a delicate mineral flavour. We select
Viognier (3%) from two sites on the estate to give the finished wine
a balanced character.
The wine
Upon arrival at the winery, the fruit is cooled to 5° Celsius overnight.
Bunches are sorted whole and pressed into stainless steel tanks to
settle. Primary fermentation occurs in 300 liter French oak barrels
and large concrete tanks with wild yeast populations. The wine is
kept on the lees for 9 months before bottling and stirred regularly to
add weight and richness.
We carefully blend our estate Grenache Blanc, Marsanne, Chenin
Blanc, and Viognier to achieve a delicate balance of floral aromas
and fruitful flavours. Each component brings a layer of complexity
and nuance to the wine
