Lanzerac estate is one of the icons of the Stellenbosch winelands, a historical and cultural landmark, reflected in the quality of its wines.
A full-bodied smooth wine made of grapes from several blocks, with a complex aroma of citrus, lemon, clover, ginger and vanilla, and fruit-forward flavour well-balanced with acidity and a long finish. The bunches were hand-selected and de-stemmed and cooled before pressing, and left for 48 hours before racking. 70% of the wine was fermented in new, 2nd use, 3rd use and 4th use barrels, 30% in stainless steel tanks, to keep the flavour of the fruit as much as possible. Grapes from each block were fermented and separately, each with their own specific yeast. Maturation in barrels was over 7 to 8 months, mixed weekly, and final blending occurred after 9 months. A perfect wine for smoked salmon, white meat fish dishes, seafood dishes with fennel puree, pork or roast chicken, cream pasta, or seafood paella.
