Tasting Note

Pleasing aromas of mocha and roasted coffee beans,  followed by juicy flavours of red berries, nutmeg and vanilla spice on the palate.

Fruit Source

Sourced from selected older vineyards in the Agter-Paarl region in Western Cape, South Africa. Unirrigated bush-vine vineyards.

Terroir

Mostly Malmesbury Shale soils. Malmesbury Shale has good water retention and the high clay content imparts minerality and fresh acidity to the wines.

Vinification

Fermentation took place over 5 days in stainless steel tanks with regular pump-overs. Before the end of fermentation, the grapes were pressed and put back into tank for malolactic fermentation. Fined and filtered before bottling.

Maturation & Oaking

25% maturation in American oak barrels (20% new) for 12 months.
