Vinifikation
The Syrah fruit originates from Malmesbury (Swartland), with its unique growing conditions and unirrigated vineyards, ensuring deep-rooted vines and thus optimal concentration of colour, flavour, and tannin structure. The Grenache Noir comes from Piekenierskloof (Citrusdal), with its very sandy soils and perfect terroir for ripening this grape variety. This parcel was aged in 600-litre barrels to preserve the distinctive fruit and freshness of the varietal. The Cabernet Sauvignon and Viognier come from Boekenhoutskloof's organically farmed vineyards, and the Cinsault from old bush vines on decomposed granite soils in Wellington. The wine matures for 15 months in 2nd and 3rd fill French oak barrels before receiving a light egg white fining. 888 barriques were selected for this wine.
