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. Tasting Notes Upfront herbal notes open up to reveal intense dark fruit. Cassis and black cherries on the palate supported by subtle herbaceous notes. Elegantly structured with fine tannins and beautifully integrated oak that lingers almost unendingly on the back palate. Perfect Pairings A fantastic companion to most meat dishes, grilled steak, roasted
