The Landscape Series is a range of five wines that show the best of Gabriëlskloof’s vineyards and winemaking and aims to be a sincere representation of the elements that make them unique. We wanted the labels to reflect this approach and commissioned Niël Jonker, well-known for his landscape panels painted on location, to capture the spirit of our Overberg landscapes.
Gabrielskloof Elodie is a clear light golden yellow in colour. In the nose aromas of grapefruit, pineapple, beeswax and almonds. In the taste palette notes of lemon, apple, apricot and melon, which are accompanied by a long aftertaste with fresh acids.
The grapes are harvested by hand with strict selection. In the vinification room, the grapes are immediately pneumatically pressed and the juice is allowed to rest for about 12 hours so that the coarser components can settle. Then the juice is allowed to undergo, for three weeks, temperature (15°C) controlled alcoholic fermentation with natural (grape-specific) yeasts on used French oak barriques of 400 and 500 liters. Subsequently, the malolactic fermentation and maturation on the groin takes place in the same barriques. After about a year, the wine is assembled and bottled after very light filtering.
Delicious wine that goes well with sea bass, chicken from the oven, salads, quiches and soft cheeses such as brie de meaux.
