in the vineyard : This Distell label takes its name from the two great oceans that converge near the Cape of Good Hope, the Indian and the Atlantic. Two Oceans is an easy-drinking and very versatile range of food-friendly varietal and blended red and white wines. Accessibly styled, the brand exemplifies South Africa’s friendly, relaxed and café orientated lifestyle.

Two Oceans’ winemakers work closely with a team of viticulturists who ensure vineyards are ideally located to produce concentrated fruit flavours. To ensure the finest quality, all grapes are sourced from premier vineyards within the Cape’s Coastal region, where a temperate climate prevails. Vineyards are cooled in summer by day-time maritime breezes from both oceans and a drop in night-time temperatures, allowing grapes to ripen slowly, which promote flavour intensity.

This wine is made from a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (55%) and Merlot (45%).

The vineyards (viticulturist: Henk van Graan)
The grapes were sourced from vineyards in the coastal areas. They were grown in a range of soils from decomposed granite to deep, red.

about the harvest: The grapes were harvested by hand and machine.

in the cellar : Each vineyard block was separately vinified. In each case, the juice was fermented at between 24° and 26° C. The juice was left on the skins for five to seven days for maximum colour extraction. The skins were then removed, pressed and a small part of the pressed juice added back and fermentation was completed.
