Description

Flat Roof Manor Pinot Grigio is a white wine made by Estelles Lourens, winemaker at Uitkyk Estate. Estelle has also been the wine-maker at Utikyk since October 2000. The range is named for the 18th Century townhouse at the winery, where Estelle is based, thought to have been designed by eminent Architect Michel Thibault and completed in 1788. The label depicts a not only the flat-topped roof but also a cat that, according to popular local legend, stayed on long after the original owners had moved on. The grapes for Flat Roof Manor Pinot Grigio are sourced from three vineyards in the Western Cape, situated some 200m to 260m above sea level and facing in a north-westerly direction. The vines, between 24 and 28 years old, are grafted onto nematode-resistant Richter 99 rootstocks and are grown in soils originating from decomposed granite. After harvesting the grapes only the free-run juice is used, no skin contact is allowed and the wine is aged on its lees for a period prior to bottling. It is a blend of 90% Pinot Grigio and 10% Sauvignon Blanc. “So many lives, So little Wine ….. Curiosity thrilled the cat…”
