Capaia ONE 2020

Deep garnet. Tea-leaf and dark berry on the rich nose. Grippy on the full palate with dark fruit and plum on the lengthy finish. Made to age.

about the harvest: Following a good, wet winter in the Cape as it should be, harvest 2020 promised less stressed fruits and even better quality grapes. Spring
was moderate and the cool climate carried through to December and January.

in the cellar :

Picked at optimum ripeness, grapes underwent natural fermentation in large French oak fermenters. Following malolactic fermentation, individual vineyards were kept separate for eight months. Using only the free-running juice of the individual vineyards, this blend was carefully created and matured for a further 12 months in French oak barriques.
