R225.00

Petillant Naturel

From winemaker Jurgen Gouws:

“In 1901 HMS Sybille was stranded at Lamberts Bay opposite Steenbokfontein where my grandmother lived for 57 years.
”This wine is a tribute to my grandmother that passed away in January 2022 (the same week we harvested these local grapes) and she was as local as one could get.

“There is a full stop at the end of the Sybille on the label which symbolises the end of the ship and the passing of my grandmother’ – fond memories of a sometimes difficult tannie!”

Soil: Granite
Varietal: Pinotage
Alc: 11.5%
Sugar: 1.2g/l

In stock

This is a petillant naturel made from Pinotage – a 50+yo organically-farmed block on the Paardeberg.

Jurgen Gouws started Intellego in 2009 while he was working with Craig Hawkins in the Swartland. He is still based on the Paardeberg, making the wines at Annexkloof.
He leases (and farms) blocks, and works with engaged growers to produce the best possible fruit using organic practices for Intellego.
Jurgen is globally recognised as one of the key players in the natural wine movement in South Africa.
INTELLEGO
In recent years the Intellego (meaning “understand” in Latin) wines have improved dramatically. They had always been exhilerating wines of drama and tension, but the last few vintages have shown a level of detail and finesse that was perhaps missing earlier on.
In our opinion Intellego produces some of the most exciting wine in the country.
