More Information

In the cellar

Grapes are harvested by hand only. Although harvesting by hand is labour intensive, this ensures that only the grape bunches that are at optimal ripeness are being picked. In the cellar gentle destemming of the grapes along with minimal crushing of the berry ensure that whole berries end up in the fermentation tank. Different yeasts were selected to ferment each vineyard while fermentation temperatures are constantly monitored. Pump overs are done twice a day to ensure gentle extraction. After alcoholic fermentation the wine was transferred to barrel where malolactic fermentation took place. Racking of the wines took place once malolactic fermentation was completed. The wine would then be transferred back to barrel and aged for 8 months 300L in barrels.

In the vineyard

The vineyards selected to produce this red blend are planted mostly on decompose granite soils with a clay content evident throughout the soil profile in the Stellenbosch area. This ensures good water retention in the soil to ensure enough growth in order to ripen the grapes.

Ageing

It can be aged from 4-8 years from vintage, if stored in the correct conditions.

Food Pairing

This wine is perfect for roast meat and game.
