Generation 8, our generation, has a deep respect for provenance, coupled with a passion for progress on the land where we live and work together. This holds us accountable for producing excellence now.

‘Dedicated to better’ is our motto both in terms of wine quality and the impact we have on the environment and our community. True to origin, these single varietal, fruit-driven wines are an honest rendition of terroir and mutual trust.

in the vineyard : The components of this wine are from three different sites planted on decomposed granite in the Bovlei, parcels on schist on our farm close to Hermon, and components from our Voor-Paardeberg farm. From young fruit-driven vineyards to older, more elegant ones, all are sensitively blended for the best result.

in the cellar : Two components of Chenin worth noting are firstly a small component made by drying the grapes on wooden racks in the sun for a week before pressing and fermenting. This component does add a small amount of residual sugar to the wine, but it primarily adds to the generosity of flavour. The second notable component is that of skin contact, which adds texture and structure to the wine.
