Intellego 2021 Kedungu
South African Red
Hand-harvested Mourvèdre, Cinsault, Syrah and Pinotage were fermented separately, mostly under carbonic conditions, with some open-top semi-carbonic treatment. After eight days, the lots were pressed into neutral French barrels, aged for ten months, blended and bottled unfined and unfiltered with a small sulphur addition. Red and black berries, wild herbs, earth and black pepper appear with tart-fruit acidity and a long finish.
Intellego 2020 Chenin Blanc
South African White
Hay, naartjie, peach and cut apple appear with fresh acidity and a gently savoury finish. The medium-bodied wine is made entirely from Chenin grown on a single Paardeberg hillside vineyard of nineteen-year-old bush vines. Hand-harvested fruit is whole-bunch pressed with solids, and spontaneous fermentation takes place in neutral 500-litre French foudres. The wine ages eleven months on gross lees without bâtonnage and is bottled unfined and unfiltered with a small sulphur addition.
