Best in class Silver - International Wine and Spirit Competition (IWSC) 2005

ageing : The wine is super now. Enjoy over 3-5 years.

in the vineyard : One afternoon, at harvest time, my mischievous son Jason and his friend Justin let the goats out of their tower and sent them for a walkabout amongst the vines. As in the legend of the Yemeni goat herder - whose roaming flock first discovered the joys of coffee beans, our goats picked out the best and tastiest fruit - their choice serves as our inspiration for this wine.

The grapes were harvested from vineyards in the Paarl, Pedeberg and Malmesbury regions. The grapes are mostly sourced from dry farmed old bush vines. These are mostly vineyards with small cropping levels resulting in wine with considerable concentration.
