Production
The vines grow in the heart of Paarl on decomposed granite soils. They are a combination of bush vines and trellised vines, which grow unirrigated, giving naturally controlled yields. The grapes are fermented on the skins in stainless steel tanks in order to keep the freshest fruit characters. In the cellar, pump-over is done twice daily with two delestages; once at the beginning and another mid-fermentation to extract deep colour and gentle tannins.
Tasting notes
The palate is bright and fruity, with plenty of red cherry and summer berry notes. A touch of herbal spice and floral notes comes through on the finish with soft and smooth tannins.
Food match
An easy drinking South African classic perfect for lamb chops cooked on the Braai, a charcuturie platter, or subtly spiced Dhal.
