Harry is a fictional character and one of the locals working in the vineyards.  Just like all the other locals Harry dries his washing by hanging it onto the farm fences and it lights up the Swartland with these bright colours.

The fruit was hand-harvested in the cool mornings of early February. Fermentation was native, with 60% of the blend in used barrels and 40% Chenin Blanc on skins in plastic tank. That portion of Chenin spent seven days on skins before being pressed to French foudres, while the Chardonnay was whole-bunch pressed to old oak barrels to ferment naturally on its gross lees. The wines aged for 11 months in their respective vessels, then were racked once to tank to harmonize and settle before bottling without fining

Tasting Notes: Clean and bright, this wine shows Malmesbury granite in full effect. The nose brings stone fruit, hay, lemon and a hint of reduction. The palate is sharp with peaches and clear acidity, finishing with a rustic grip that relaxes as it opens in the glass.

69% Chenin Blanc, 31% Chardonnay – 40% of the Chenin fermented on the skins for seven days. Matured for 11 months, the Chenin in old 500-litre barrels and foudre, the Chardonnay in old 228-litre barrels. Pale orange in colour. The nose is rather neutral but subtle notes of pear, lemon and orange plus some smoky reduction can be detected. Light bodied with bright acidity and a finish that is pithy in texture and salty in flavour. Well balanced. Alc: 12%. CE’s rating: 92/100.
