in the vineyard : Story: This wine is a tribute to the diverse terrior and vineyards grown in the Cape Winelands of South Africa. This powerful yet elegant wine has a beautifully smooth mouth feel with rich red berry and ripe cherry flavours that linger on the palate .

Vineyard: Exposed bunches on trellised vines benefit from the extended sunlight and cooling Atlantic breezes. Picked at optimum ripeness. Decomposed Granite in the area surrounding the Estate.

about the harvest: Yield at 7 - 10t/ha.

in the cellar : At the cellar the grapes and wines were put through their paces in the normal way of minimal handling and classic maturation procedures in order to provide you with flavorful wines that have great structure but elegance and depth. For this vintage we selected some Cabernet Franc from two different sites to combine with the Shiraz and Mourvedre to achieve the desired aroma and taste.
