IN THE VINEYARD
In our quest to source unique and exclusive vineyards, we visit many sites and meet fascinating farmers along the way. In the past few years, we have noticed a definitive move towards sustainable vineyard practices and the preservation of natural flora and fauna. Our goal is to establish long-term relationships with these growers and promote their innovative approach to sustainability so that the wines we produce today, can be enjoyed for generations to come.
IN THE CELLAR
Grapes are sourced from selected sites in Paardeberg, Breedekloof and Stellenbosch. Harvested at optimal ripeness for concentration of colour and typical plummy characters. The mash is cold soaked and softly worked during early fermentation to achieve depth of colour and concentration. Portions are fermented with French oak to achieve sultry mocha notes.
