In The Vineyard

The grapes are sourced from the best organic vineyards across the Western Cape, a quarter of it coming directly from the estate.

In The Cellar

The grapes were sorted, destemmed and wild, spontaneous fermentation took place in a combination of concrete tanks and open top stainless steel fermenters using the submerged cap fermentation technique. 25% of the wine spent eight months in older oak barrels after which the assemblage is made up and bottled. The limited oak contact makes this red wine smooth and approachable right now.
