WINE MAKING PROCESS
Find Your Happy Place is crafted using a minimalist, low-intervention approach. The grapes are sourced from biodynamically and organically farmed vineyards in Swartland's Paardeberg region. Hand-harvested early to maintain acidity and lower alcohol, the fruit undergoes fermentation with indigenous yeasts using 100% whole bunches, employing both carbonic and semi-carbonic maceration techniques. This process is designed to enhance fruit purity and create a fresh, vibrant profile. Minimal sulphur is added, and the wine is typically bottled young to preserve its lively character. The overall philosophy is to produce natural, digestible wines that reflect their terroir.
