AWARDS

Five centuries ago, the ancient mariners braved uncharted seas to round the Cape in search of exotic spices. Their nerve and dash inspire the Spice Route philosophy. The Spice Route has found its signature wine style in the warm rolling hills along the Cape West coast. Matching traditional practices in the vineyards with modern, minimalist approaches in the cellar, they produce exceptionally ripe and deep-flavoured wines.

in the vineyard : All the grapes come from dry land bushvines of 26 years of age.

about the harvest: The grapes were all picked at full ripeness of 24.5Â° Balling in February 2003.
