100% Pinotage (a hybrid of the Cinsault and Pinot Noir grapes) Single Vineyard
“My philosophy is to create great single vineyard wines from unique soil, climate and location. It’s the soil with all the microbes, cycle of elements and the help of living organisms that create the heartbeat for my vines. The vineyards location in relation to the sun and wind direction, as well as a holistically favorable climate, influences the expression of each block.”
NOSE: Fresh red fruit with hints of spice and earthy tones
PALATE: Vibrant, fresh, subtle tannins with lingering sweet red fruit.
VINIFICATION: Grapes hand-selected, sorted, berries de-stemmed, 5days cold soaking on the skins. Spontaneously fermented, punched down 3 times daily for extraction, pressed after fermentation. 12 months aged in neutral French Oak before bottling on Estate.
The wine must be a true reflection of our terroir created from our own vineyards. Nurtured, produced, matured and bottled with minimal interference on the Estate.
