in the vineyard : Made from the oldest Red Muscadel vineyard in South Africa.

This unique wine is made exclusively from the oldest Muscadel (Muscat de Frontignan) vines in South Africa, planted on Rietvallei Estate in 1908 by the second generation of the Burger family. The Muscadel is in the form of bush vines and consists of approximately a quarter of a hectare. At 95 years of age these bush vines have an extremely low yield, resulting in excellent fruit concentration.
about the harvest: 

in the cellar : This is the first Grappa to come out of the Robertson region. It was distilled for Rietvallei by well-known winemaker and distiller Giorgio Dalla Cia from the estate's award-winning Muscadel.
