WINEMAKER’S NOTES

All grapes on the estate are hand-picked. Once received in the cellar, the grapes are gently transferred by means of gravity to both stainless steel and cement vessels for fermentation. A period of cold soaking follows, which enables rich extraction of colour, elegant aromas and bright flavour. Extended maceration follows at the conclusion of fermentation, which assists in providing the wine with soft texture, increased colour intensity and complexity.

VINIFICATION & MATURATION

Our wine is matured in a combination of 225 liters French oak barrels, 9000 liters Foudre vessels and traditional 4500 liters cement tanks for a period of three years. These different vessels each add a multitude of elements to the wine, ranging from fruity character to subtle wood influences. These elements are brought selectively together to form a harmonious whole, during the winemaking process.

93 | The nose is red fruited with leafy tones and hints of pimento and lemon. I love the rhubarb and red currant flavours. A medium bodied, energetic style.

92 | Forward colour; tobacco forward aromas go with that. Smoky charry and cigarbox characters. Interesting wine, if a trifle advanced.

89 | very green, herbal and tart red fruited, tannic edge quick finish, needs food or time

88 | Super smoky - not the bbq SA character but wet ashes note. Carries right across the palate. Clips the fruit
