Vinifikation The finest barrels of Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon were selected for this wine. The grapes come from our magnificent vineyard high up on the eastern slopes of the Helderberg mountains. The soil is a deep red, decomposed granite - Hutton type. The vines are densely planted (5000 vines/ha.), so that each vine produces not much more than 1 kg. Hand-picked, 100% destemmed and gently squeezed directly into open fermenters. Natural yeast fermentation for 14 days with regular punch-downs at a maximum temperature of 30°C. The wine is transferred directly into barrels, together with a single pressing using a traditional basket press. Malolactic fermentation took place in the barrel. The wine matured for 1 year in 100% new 225L French oak barrels before being blended and aged for a further 9 months in a second 700-liter barrel.
