foothills, mistaken for wild horses by the Dutch.

in the vineyard : The grapes were harvested from the Paarl and Swartland region. The soil types are mostly Malmesbury Shales, Granite and Glenrosa that is well suited for vineyards in dryland conditions. Very little irrigation in the vineyards as they need to survive mostly on natural rainfall. The berries are small due to the lack of water and give concentrated ripe fruit flavours. The 2021 vintage was later than normal with grapes picked two weeks later.The growing season was cool with good conditions and low disease risk. The harvest period was also cooler than normal with no heat waves and some rainy days during harvest. The vintage was good in terms of quality and the wines show good ageing potential.

about the harvest: The grapes were harvested in the early morning.

in the cellar : Grapes were de-stemmed and cold maceration was given for two days to extract maximum flavour and colour from the skins. Fermentation was done in stainless steel tanks with regular pump overs for seven days. During malolactic fermentation, French and American oak staves were added to help with the complexity of the wine. The wine was aged on the wood for eight months.
