Grapes: Muscat de Frontignan, White Muskadel.

Vinification: The grapes are handpicked and put into a concrete tank as whole bunches. These bunches are gently crushed by foot and allowed to naturally ferment for 1 to 2 weeks after which they are pressed and transferred to old casks.

Maturation: The wine normally finishes fermentation in 300l casks. The maturation is around 11 months and then the wine is bottled without filtration.

For our skin fermented wines we like to use aromatic varietals. Muscat de Frontignan is a grape with a rich history here in South Africa however mostly used for fortified

wines or sweet wine production.

The name “geelkapel” refers to the Cape Cobra, a venomous serpent found around here and some morphs have a brilliant yellow colour after which we have named this wine.
