Franschhoek’s original cemetery is the final resting place of the original Huguenot families until the turn of the 20th century. The legacy of our ancestors endures on the engraved tombstones. Our Cabernet Sauvignon symbolises longevity and evolution with stealth and structure to preserve Franschhoek’s secrets and stories.

in the vineyard : The vineyards were planted on particular soil types to allow for the optimum vine growth balance. The silky, fine tannin structure and prominent black fruit are typical of Franschhoek.

in the cellar : Cold macerated on the skins for 24 hours before inoculation takes place, with selected yeast strains, and fermented in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. Maximum colour and flavour extraction is achieved by gentle pumpovers and punch downs 3 times a day before gentle maturation in French oak for 8 to 12 months.
