A nose of ripe berries and a hint of warm toast. A mouth filling wine, deep mineral flavours with black currant, balanced with dry wood tannins. The spicy charm lingers on the clean finish.

in the vineyard : All the grapes were grown on De Meye in the western part of Muldersvlei. The cooling afternoon winds and rich fertile soils, create ideal conditions for healthy, ripe grapes. A harvest of just 6 tons per hectare helped with the high quality of the grapes. The Shiraz vines were planted in 1976 and the Cabernet was planted in 1988.
about the harvest: Grapes were picked at a sugar level of just over 25º Balling.
in the cellar : The grapes were fermented in stainless steel tanks. The wines were aged in French oak for 25 months. The wines were blended after wood ageing, 80% Cabernet Sauvignon and 20% Shiraz.
