in the vineyard : Signal Gun, a family run winery, is situated in the Durbanville region. As the shot of the Signal Gun echoes through the vineyards of our picturesque farm it signals the start of a new generation of wine making. We pride ourselves in making small quantities of fine wine from our carefully selected grapes.

Be assured that the tasteful memories of our wines will keep on echoing.
about the harvest: A dry winter with cold and windy conditions resulted in a lower yield. Grapes were picked at optimum ripeness.
in the cellar : Merlot and Shiraz had little skin contact, just enough to get the light blush colour. Sauvignon Blanc was added prior to bottling.

Blend: 60% Merlot | 25% Sauvignon Blanc | 15% Shiraz
