R2600,00

Wine of Origin Stellenbosch

This wine is a selection of the two best barrels from our Elevation 393 vineyard, uniquely situated at the intersection of the Helderberg Mountain and Stellenbosch Mountain slopes. The vineyard features relatively narrow rows, 1.8 metres wide, with an above-average vine density of 5 000 vines per hectare, producing exceptionally low yields of less than 1 kg per vine. With no added yeast, acid, or other additives apart from minimal SO2 and left unfiltered, the wine reflects its pure, natural origins.

Tasting Notes: Showing attractive, dense red berry, plum and blackcurrant fruit, tobacco leaf, fynbos and spice complexity. New oak is nicely integrated. Still obviously youthful, with mouth-filling fine tannins.

About the Wine Estate

Qualified as an architect and formally untrained as a winemaker, David was integrally involved in the development of the Trafford family farm, Mont Fleur, from a young age. A working knowledge of winemaking gleaned from local winemakers, a vintage spent at Saint-à‰milion in Bordeaux, France, and David’s own practical experience has ensured a small but steady flow of wines of increasing sophistication from Mont Fleur, high up on the slopes of the Helderberg. With an acute appreciation of nature and sense of time and place, David has put the emphasis of this small French domaine-like winery on serious red wines of great concentration and structure. The De Trafford Chenin Blanc and Straw Wine have both received high praise locally and internationally.
