More Information

In the cellar

Once harvested, the grapes are bunch sorted and pumped into open-top fermenters. Here, Christo and the winemaking team vinify each vineyard block separately, allowing the unique characteristics and flavours of each block to develop. After a year of ageing, the final blend is made, and the wine spends a further year in oak before release. The result is a Cabernet Sauvignon that brims with complexity thanks to the blended fruit from diverse terroir

In the vineyard

The fruit for this wine is sourced from selected vineyard sites within Stellenbosch. The conscientiously considered mixture of cool gravelly slopes facing False Bay and rich red granitic soils around Stellenbosch ensure a beautiful balance of aromas and flavours in the final wine.

Ageing

22 months in 225L French oak barrels. 12 % new oak.

Cultivar

100% Cabernet Sauvignon

Food Pairing

This wine is a excellent compliment to grilled red meats and pairs perfectly with mature hard cheeses.

Awards and Recognition

  • Decanter World Wine Awards - Silver medal
  • Tim Atkin - 93
