Product Description:
A lush and deftly integrated expression that possesses an alluring medley of blackberry, plum and white pepper as well as Kalamata olive and sun-dried tomato. The fruit is opulent but in no way overripe, with dark chocolate filling out the mid-palate, while chalky tannins make for a long and luxurious finish.

Vinifikation
The mountainous On Sandstone site consists of fractured sandstone, which makes viticulture incredibly difficult. This unforgiving environment naturally leads to low vine vigour and minimal yields. The result is a complex, unique wine. The grapes were hand-picked and taken in small lug boxes directly to Gabrielskloof’s cold room, where they remained overnight. Approximately 60% of the harvest was destemmed, the rest remained as whole bunches. The wine was spontaneously fermented in small, open-top fermenters and left on the skins for a long period after fermentation. The wine matured for 18 months in 500-litre barrels, with 10% new French oak used.
