Product Description:
Baking spices, dark chocolate, and black vibrating fruits hint at the power to follow. Complex aromas of pure cassis, meat, and oak spice lead to a well-integrated fruit core with dense, yet fine-grained tannins. This is a wonderful blend where the components are expressive, yet well-balanced. Powerful, explosive, and medium-to-full-bodied, with the precision of 2017 shining through in a long, defined finish.

Vinifikation The Proprietor’s Blend is a marriage of six varietals grown on the property. These vineyards grow on the warm, north-facing slopes of the Helderberg region within the Stellenbosch appellation. These particular varietals thrive in these conditions, making for rich, full-bodied red wines. With an elevation of approx. 250m above sea level, along with the cooling influence from the Atlantic Ocean, ripening time can be extended, resulting in wines with phenolic ripeness. Grapes are hand-harvested in the cool of the early morning. Whole berries are fermented in open-top tanks and barrels with intermittent pump-overs and punch-downs to ensure a balance of flavour, colour and tannin extraction from the skins. All fermentations are meticulously monitored to ensure all natural flavours and aromas are retained. After primary fermentation, some tanks undergo extended maceration. Each varietal is matured separately in oak before the final blending. Matured for 18 months. 95% in 300L French oak barrels (35% new) and 5% in 300L American oak barrels (30% new).
