Winemaker Abrie Beeslaar The different vineyards are planted next to each other on the lowest lying part of the farm. The grapes are destemmed, sorted and then fermented in open top “kuipe” for six days. After malolactic fermentation in tank, the blend is made and the wine is then matured in 100% new French oak barrels for 24 months.
Tasting Notes: A beautiful balance between perfumed floral notes and blackberry on the nose. On the palate this wine has great balance, with a lively acid, and a dry finish.
Ready for drinking in 2024 and beyond.
Winemaker: Abrie Beeslaar
