Description
The Ximenez Spinola Delicado is utterly delicious, showing an enticing deep golden colour, with exceptional aromas from the sun dried grapes and pronounced notes of orange peel and herbs. Smooth, round and intense on the palate with currants, dried apricots, toasted wood and immense concentration of fruit on the palate.
Grapes are hand harvested and carefully laid on the ground on food mats, not in the open field but in the beds (lanes between the vines), so that during the shaded periods, the skin can accumulate tartaric acidity. Exposure to the sun slowly and gradually dehydrates each grape, evaporating water and concentrating natural fructose. Only 300 kilos of raisins are obtained per ton of fresh grapes. Grapes are then transferred back to the wine press in crates, equivalent to the work of a double harvest. Once the grapes arrive at the winery they are pressed, obtaining only 200 liters of must per ton of fresh grapes, which ultimately gives this wine an extremely low final yield.

2018 Oupa Danie’s Swan Song, The Liberator Ep. 37, WO Calitzdrop
Muscat
The crushed grapes are left in contact with their skins for two days with the occasional pumping over and wild fermentation was allowed to start. The must was then fortified with 96% spirit to stop fermetation whilst the wine still had 250 grams of residual sugar. Heady, rich and concentrated with spice, stone fruits and amazingly long finish. Enjoy this fabulous wine with toffee or fruit based desserts, or stick some away for it to develop further.
