Product Description:
Crucially, not much fruit is now sourced from the Porseleinberg and Goldmine vineyards. It has a very well-defined bouquet of blackberry, raspberry coulis, crushed rose petals, hints of orange rind and minerals. This is much more detailed and classical in style than previous vintages. The palate is medium-bodied with juicy black fruit, fine acidity and a rather saline and spicy note with a pure finish on the palate. This is a very impressive wine and a great achievement that this level of quality is achieved with 2,057 barrels of wine. Bravo.

Vinifikation Due to the persistent drought, yields were much lower, resulting in a higher berry concentration. The Swartland vineyards are known for their slate and granite soils, which provide a pleasant climate and liveliness in the wine. This increases the volume of Grenache and Cinsault in the assemblage and significantly improves the flavour profile. The Grenache contributes to the fruit purity, while the Cinsault is responsible for the floral strawberry notes. The Syrah remains the structural backbone. The Grenache was matured in 600-liter wooden barrels to preserve its fruity aroma, while the other grape varieties matured in barriques and 2500-liter oak barrels. The total maturation period in the wooden barrels was 12 months, and 2057 barriques were produced.
