The pallet presents with fynbos character and bright berry flavours, rounded by a touch of oak. Elegant yet firm tannins with good medium body. Wine finishes with subtle flinty and smokey characteristics.

in the vineyard : These grapes are specially selected from the Cape Coastal area. These areas are unique for its warm days and cool nights. This, together with the deep red soils shows beautifully in the wine as a mix between dark- and red fruit flavours, good concentration and a soft juicy tannin structure.

in the cellar : To ensure the preservation of clear red fruit flavors, the wine was fermented in stainless steel tanks. After alcoholic fermentation was completed, the wine was pressed and malolactic fermentation completed in tank. This wine underwent ageing on a selection of French oak staves for approximately 12 months.
