Winemaker WS Visagie flies planes, and occasionally jumps out of them, in his spare time. He likens producing Ancestrale wines to parachuting without a backup chute. But this delicious, sustainably produced Pet Nat from Verdelho has landed safely.
Production
Grapes are hand picked, destemmed and crushed. Cold soaking and slow fermentation at about 12-15 degrees enhances the flaors and colours. The wine is fermented for about 2 weeks with wild yeast. The wine was bottled towards the end of fermenation so that fermentation could finish in the bottle, then the wine spends a further 4-5 months on lees.
Daschbosch Methode Ancestrale 2024 (6 bottles case)
Tasting notes
Aromas of lime, crisp apple with freshly baked pastry, and toasted almonds on the nose. The palate is bright and zippy with vibrant acidity and a soft creamy mouthfeel.
Food match
Perfect with smoked salmon, oysters and seafood dishes.

Meet the producer
DaschBosch crafts elegant wines and experimental wines whilst upholding traditional methods of wine-making and craftsmanship, since 1754, when the farm land was granted by the Governor of the Cape of Good Hope, Rijk Tulbagh. Their wines reflect the vastness of the South African landscape and reflect the decades of vines growing in one place, in the unyielding sun, the cold winter rain, the storms and winds, on a mountain, on a plain somewhere which produces these delicate but powerful wines.
