AWARDS

2014 International Wine and Spirit Competition - Outstanding Silver

in the vineyard : Spectacular panoramic views of Stellenbosch and Cape Town, cool hillside vineyards planted to classic varieties, and a modern family-run winery have combined to produce distinctive wines displaying the ripe concentrated fruity accessibility of the New World, with the complex elegance of classic wine.

15 - 20 year old Cabernet Sauvignon vineyards, (Clones: CS163, CS27, CS14, CS46) situated on west- and north-facing slopes between 200 and 240m above sea level.

about the harvest: The grapes were harvested between the 3rd March and 15th March 2011 at 24 - 25°B.

in the cellar : Fermented in overhead retort-shaped, stainless steel fermentors. Pump-overs were done three times daily during fermentation. Selected tanks received extended maceration on the skins after fermentation. The use of gravity and gentle pressing ensure full-flavoured wines with soft, balanced tannins. The wine was racked into barrels where it underwent malolactic fermentation. After further racking it spent 19 months in new and used French oak barrels, before being lightly filtered prior to bottling.
