ageing : This wine can be enjoyed now, but will continue to improve for several years.

On the South Western slopes of the iconic Paarl Mountain lies the beautiful Landskroon Wine Estate. Five generations of passionate winemakers have contributed to making Landskroon one of Paarl's leading wine brands. The current cellarmaster, Paul de Villiers, proudly continues this heritage as the 5th generation of the family at Landskroon.

about the harvest: Grapes were harvested separately at 24° B.

in the cellar : After the addition of selected yeasts the juice, together with the skins, were allowed to ferment at controlled temperatures of 25°C - 28°C. Regular pump overs ensured good colour and tannin extraction.

Merlot and Shiraz aged for 12 months in 2nd, 3rd and 4th fill French Oak barrels.
