AWARDS

2009 Berlin Wine Trophy - Gold Medal

in the vineyard : The grapes were sourced from two dryland sites in the Paarl region. The vineyards are grown in red/yellow Tukulu/Clovelly soils ideal for root penetration due to its good water-holding capacity and limited compactness. Both sites are low-yielding and produced small-berried, loose bunches picked at good phenolic ripeness. While Cabernet bunches tend to be fairly compact, the prevailing micro-climatic conditions were conducive to a looser bunch formation, making for a more even ripening. The lower altitude fruit, contributing 60% to the blend, provided the strong aromatic features and dark fruit flavours, while the higher altitude fruit provided the red fruit, herbaceous and gooseberry qualities.

about the harvest: The grapes were harvested at 25° Balling and each block was individually vinified.

in the cellar : Open-top fermenters were used for a greater measure of control. Their large surface area provided an excellent ratio between the cap and the wine itself, thereby enhancing colour and eventual flavour. The wine was matured in a combination of new-, second- and third-fill small, French oak vats for a period of 12 to 14 months prior to blending. It received a light egg-white fining before filtration.
