Seven Sisters Odelia 2008 Boukettraube
Odelia is a naturally sweet wine rich with honey flavor yet perfectly balanced by high acidity and floral aromas. Made from 100% Bukettraube grapes (pronounced Bu-ke-traw-bah), South Africa is one of the few wine-producing countries in the world to bottle this fine wine – a fitting tribute to Odelia’s distinctive style!

Production Notes
Grapes come from unirrigated bushvines with
yields of between 7 and 8 ton/ha. Hand
harvested at optimum ripeness at 24°B. All
grapes are crushed and skin contact of 4 hours
are allowed to extract the flavours. Light bag
press follows and the cleaned juice is fermented
to retain maximum aroma. At required sugar
level the fermentation process is stopped to
produce a well balanced, natural sweet wine.
