As passionate vine growers we are blessed to grow vines in terroir rivalling the world's best, growing delicate cultivars that thrive in this elevated, mountainous region impacted by the proximity of the sea crashing below.

Our uniquely south-facing vineyards are cooled by the prevailing sea breeze causing the grapes to ripen slowly and develop an unforgettable elegance and complexity.

Conserving our natural environment is paramount to our drive towards environmental sustainability. Farming regeneratively creates a natural balance, noticeable in our wines and evident by our WWF Champion status.

in the vineyard : From our south-facing vineyards, overlooking Walker Bay on the higher reaches of the Babylonstoren Mountains.

in the cellar : The grapes were hand-picked and cooled overnight, then hand-sorted and destemmed before entering the cellar. After five days of cold maceration on the skins, alcoholic fermentation was initiated. Regular pump-overs during the three-week fermentation assured soft tannins, increased flavour and a deeper colour. Wine was matured for six months in French oak barrels – 15% new oak.
