Situated 15 km from
Stellenbosch along the picturesque Route 44, framed against the slopes of the
Helderberg lies Yonder Hill Wines. Here, 6 hectares of vineyards are annually
crafted into top wines – Inanda 2013 being no exception.
Inanda 2013
Inanda – meaning Place
of Beauty in Zulu, is a 47%Cabernet Franc, 44%Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Merlot en
3% Petit Verdot blend. The wine has a complex nose, with a mixture of roasted coffee beans and dark
chocolate aromas expertly complemented by vibrant red fruits. Inanda has an
elegant, well balanced structure that can be drank now or cellared for 4 to 6
years. It has been crowned with a silver Veritas award as well as a 3.5 star
Platter. At a mere R90.00 per bottle, this beauty is a must along any fire
place this winter.
The winemaking process
The berries of the four cultivars ripen at
different stages of the harvest. Each cultivar is therefore harvested and
fermented separately in stainless steel tanks. After blending and
secondary fermentation (malolactic fermentation) the blend is matured for 13
months in 225l French oak barrels.
In the vineyard
The vineyards are five years old and planted
along the northern slopes of the farm. The vines are trained onto a
five-wire trellis system to maximise exposure to the sunlight and sea breeze
from False Bay. The use of minimal handling and insecticides shows the
approach towards enviro-friendly farming methods.
