Product Description:
The nose shows red and black berries, tea leaf, violet and a hint of reduction, while on the palate it reins in its power – with a beautiful purity of fruit, fresh acidity and fine-grained tannins. It is focused and dense with a long and dry finish that promises good aging potential.

Vinification The vineyard used for the production of V is Stone Pine IV. This vineyard consists of two adjacent blocks located on the west to northwest-facing inland slopes of Schaapenberg. It is relatively protected from the prevailing breeze coming from False Bay and therefore enjoys a slightly warmer, yet predominantly maritime climate. The grapes were hand-harvested and fermented in closed tanks at temperatures of 25-28°C. The young wine was macerated for 56 days, followed by malolactic fermentation in stainless steel tanks. After malolactic fermentation, the wine was racked into 100% new French oak barrels. The V matured for 18 months in these barrels, after which it bottle-aged for 48 months before its release.
