Under extreme conditions, Mother Nature provides its best fruit. The Dry Land Collection Wines pays homage to its testing terroir, showcasing the uniqueness of wines produced from dry land vineyards. Created in a new world style, these wines are complex with ample fruit and structure. Each wine holds a symbolic name that shares a characteristic of its source.

in the vineyard : The grapes were harvested at 23 - 24° Balling from a combination of vineyards ranging from 18-year-old Grenache Blanc and Viognier vineyards to a 38-year-old Chenin Blanc vineyard in the Paarl/Swartland area. The soils are a combination of Malmesbury shales, Glenrosa and decomposed granite. These vineyard blocks used little to no irrigation as they primarily relied on winter rainfall.

about the harvest: The 2022 vintage is one of the longest and latest vintages in history. The growing season started very well due to a cold wet winter with sufficient soil moisture. The growing season was cool with good growth in the vineyards. We however experienced extreme heat conditions in January and February that had an impact on the harvest.
The grapes were harvested at 23 - 24° Balling

in the cellar : Made in a lightly wooded style, thirty percent of this wine has spent ten months in 500-litre French oak barrels and, once bottled, was aged a further six months.
