Vinifikation This wine is a blend of 89% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Petit Verdot and 3% Malbec. The grapes come from Tokara's first-class vineyards on the slopes of Simonsberg near Stellenbosch. Only grapes from the best blocks and from the best parts of these blocks are used. The average yield is between 6 and 8 t/ha. After harvesting, the grapes were destemmed, sorted, crushed and placed in stainless steel tanks and wooden vats. This was followed by cold maceration for up to 5 days before the mash was spontaneously fermented. During fermentation, the mash was pumped over twice daily for better extraction. The subsequent malolactic fermentation took place in French oak barrels. After the malolactic fermentation was complete, the Cabernet matured for a total of 22 months in 49% new French oak barrels and the other 51% in used wooden barrels. It was bottled without fining or filtration.
