This is a medium bodied red wine. The wine has strawberries, red cherries and perfume on the nose with ripe berry fruit that follows through to the elegant, juicy palate. A soft and velvety mouth feel is complimented by well integrated oak flavours.

The vines flourish in well drained, decomposed sandstone soils, and indigenous fynbos plants are left to grow naturally, to enhance the natural beauty of the vineyards.

about the harvest: The Pinot Noir grapes are handpicked from vineyards in the Franschhoek valley.
