Sometimes the simplest experiences can spark the most joy: dewdrops glittering in the rising sun, the honey-sweet scent of wildflowers, a butterfly in flight. It’s the beauty in the everyday that touches the heart and makes the spirit light. Light on the body, too, is this lively Pinotage. Brimming with spicy plum and dark fruit notes, it is low in alcohol yet full in flavour.

about the harvest: Vintage:The 2023 vintage was notably interesting, with an early start, a dry spring, and much-needed rainfall in early December. The growing season was cool, promoting good vineyard growth, and the harvest began 10 days earlier than in 2022 under favourable weather conditions.

Harvested from bush vine vineyards in the Paarl region, the grapes were picked at 25° Balling to ensure a soft and fruity style of wine.

in the cellar : Method: Pinotage produces small berries with good flavour concentration under dryland conditions. 30% of the wine was de-alcoholised mid-fermentation to achieve a low alcohol level.

Wood maturation: Six months with French oak staves.
