in the cellar : Specifically, selected Stellenbosch sites, two on the Helderberg, that add more freshness and acidity and one form Warwick on a warmer wet facing slope of the Simonsberg, adding textural and structural elements to the wine. All three vineyards are picked separately at different ripeness levels to add complexity.
