The grapes come from vines on the slopes of the Helderberg, planted in deep, fine Tukulu granite soils shaped by cool Atlantic winds. For the Noble-Late-Harvest selection, they remained on the vines until mid-March and were hand-harvested with clean botrytis at 43 Balling; the yield was around one tonne per hectare. After twelve hours of skin contact, the whole bunches were pressed and the must fermented for twelve days at 14–16 °C. Five months of ageing in second-fill French barriques shape the sweet, golden style, with apricot, nectarine, passion fruit, honey, marmalade and dried peach. Residual sugar: 143 g/l, acidity: 6,6 g/l, pH 3,48. ([longridge.co.za](https://longridge.co.za/product/edelgoud/))
