The ‘Mother Rock’ series of wines is all about showcasing the nuance and greatness of the Swartland through a very minimalist touch of Johan Meyer, AKA ‘Stompie.’
The grapes were hand-harvested at different sugar levels to insure good pH and acid from the early picking with powerful structure and aromas from riper batches. The majority of the grapes were whole-bunch pressed with full lees to stainless-steel with about 25% of the grapes being destemmed and fermented on their skins for a month, prior to being pressed to stainless-steel. Fermentation occurred naturally and at cooler temperatures (57°F) without any additions and after ten months of aging the components were blended to tank and settled naturally. The wines were bottled without fining or filtration, and just a very light sulfuring for stability.
This wine is beautifully fresh and pure, with notes of pear and apples on the nose. It is pleasantly silky and textured on the palate, with a great acid backbone and minerality on the finish.
