AWARDS
Platter recommended quaffer and value for money

ageing : This wine is drinking exceptionally well now and will gain in complexity over the next three years.

in the vineyard : This wine is sourced from Stellenbosch vineyards, planted mainly on broken shale, Table Mountain Sandstone and some on koffiklip with underlying clay.

about the harvest: 
Average yield is 8.6 tons of fruit per hectare. 
Picking was at full ripeness with sugars at 24.5° Balling while the acidity was measured at 6.3g/l average and the pH was 3.4.

in the cellar : Blend Information
Mostly Shiraz, some Cabernet Sauvignon with bit of Pinotage

The wine was fermented in open fermenters with regular pump-overs to extract good colour and tannin. I used French oak staves during maturation to ensure a velvety mouth feel.
