Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot are two of the world’s most popular premium red wine grapes, and on Diemersdal they have flourished for over three decades in our dryland vineyards with their close proximity to the Atlantic Ocean.
in the vineyard : The vines are rooted in deep red Hutton soils on north-facing slopes, catching the southerly breezes of summer and the frontal winds that punish the Cape from the north in winter. Cool growing conditions on exposed aspects, as well as the practise of dryland farming, sees the fruit develop slowly, drawing maximum variety expression on the vine. The result is tight bunches of small berries, ideal for making wines of structure, elegance and refinement.
about the harvest: The components were harvested and vinified separately.
in the cellar : Fermented in open fermenters for 5-7 days at 24-28ºC. Punch-downs were done every 4 hours and then pressed at 5ºB. 100% MLF completed spontaneously in tanks and racked into barrels and tanks.
Maturation: 8 months wood maturation with French oak components.
