Wine of Origin Simonsberg-Stellenbosch
- One of the first Bordeaux-style blends made in South Africa.
- 30-year-old vineyards were used to make this wine.
- Low-yielding vineyard blocks at 2-5 T / Ha.
- Traditional manual punch-downs were carried out during fermentation in open top fermenters (kuipe).
- Matured in 100% new French oak barrels for 24 months.
- The first South African wine to score 100 points from Tim Atkin.
Tasting Notes: A typical expression of cassis and liquorice on the nose. The palate shows tension that flows into a fresh, savoury aftertaste.
Ready for drinking from 2025.
