The 2022 vintage benefited from prolonged ripening that gave the grapes intense concentration of flavours, promising another classic Stellenbosch vintage. The iron-rich ferricrete soils are exceptionally well-suited for quality Cabernet Sauvignon production, while careful vinification maintains density without compromising elegance, offering outstanding quality at exceptional value. Vineyard & Production Sourced from estate vineyards and selected Stellenbosch parcels grown on ferricrete soils ("koffie klip")—clay- and iron-rich soils exceptionally well-suited for quality Cabernet Sauvignon. The 2022 vintage featured prolonged ripening with intense flavour concentration. Blocks were harvested at optimum ripeness and vinified separately in stainless-steel tanks and traditional open-top fermenters using "punch down" and "pump over" techniques. After primary fermentation, the wine was gently pressed and transferred to French oak barrels (35% new, 20% second fill, 45% third and fourth fill) for 20 months before final blending.
