The grapes were hand harvested and bunches were destemmed into small fermenting tanks keeping 30% whole clusters. After 2 days of cold soaking, natural fermentation happened. The grapes were further macerated for 7 days where punch downs happened 3 times daily. They were then pressed, transferred to 300 L French oak barrels using 30% new and the wine was left to mature for 12 months.

About Us

Born a while ago, Albert Rousset spent his professional life on the creative side of the garb industry.

 

He grew up in a family of dreamers and gourmets. He was intensively exposed to the gastronomic sphere during his numerous global travels where wine remained the precedence.

 

During a family trip to South Africa with his wife Joanne and his four children, the dreamer discovered and fell in love with the Elgin Valley. He decided to make his own wine, IDUN.

 

Inspired by the land of apples and wine, IDUN was born. She is the Norse goddess of fertility, eternal life and apples. IDUN captures a particular style of South Africa’s wine, one that is elegant, sexy, authentic and friendly.
