This vineyard is 18 years old and was planted by David Finlayson on terraces he cut into the steepest hillside on the Edgebaston property in Stellenbosch.
The trellis system is low to the ground and uncommon in South Africa as it produces very low yields and small bunches. The vineyard is hand farmed and processed only with organic principles in mind. It has been a 15-year project that is now beginning to deliver results.
This wine signifies something truly special to me as a winemaker and is part of my journey in life and wine in South Africa, hence the name, Camino Africana, “The African Way”
Ideally seafood dishes like Seabass or Lobster or light meats such as Quail or Veal . A vegan option such as grilled cashew, peanut and soy sauce topped Stir fry vegetables would also be a fantastic option.
