WINEMAKER'S NOTES
Our Palomino is produced using the grapes from a traditional Spanish varietal planted here on Brakkuil farm back in 1978.
The vineyard at the foot of "Klein Tafelberg" (small Table Mountain) is comprised of limestone rich coastal soil - adding hugely to the Palomino's subtle notes of natural sea salt minerality.
During harvesting, the grapes are pressed and their juices inserted into tanks until primary fermentation has been successfully executed.
It is then when the veil starts its process for a couple of weeks to months. After this process the wine is transferred to French oak barrels and left for 6 to 12 months to reach maturity.
