about the harvest: The Grapes are harvested from southwest facing vineyards in the Franschhoek valley. The well-drained, decomposed sandstone soils are ideal for the cultivation of Cabernet Sauvignon. The winemaker implements appropriate canopy management to achieve berries with deep colour and concentrated fruit flavours.

in the cellar : What makes this wine unique is the location of the vineyardnext to a row of eucalyptus trees.During summer, the trees suck up all the water from the surrounding soil.High summer temperatures, cause the eucalyptus trees to ‘sweat’ through the leaves, producing a mist that is blown over the vineyard. The fine droplets landing on the grapes, impart the unique minty taste to the wine. This wine was matured in French oak barrels for 24 months.
