A evelage in older barrels followed this & continued for 6 months with no racking, battonage or sulphur additions. Filtered and bottled in October 2022.

Hand picked and chilled overnight. All of the grapes were fermented on the skins and whole bunches (around 50%) for 10 days. No sulphur was applied at crushing.

The profoundest facet of wine, beyond its flavour, is when and where it can be utterly unique - otherwise all the wine in the world might as well come from a single factory in France (or Taiwan). Angus Paul Wines looks to identify that which makes South Africa unique; combining its old rocks, atavistic gees and quasi-indigenous varietals to produce wines that could only come from the windy Cape. Chenin blanc and Pinotage take the lead roles in the winery - along with a small but genuine supporting cast of other grapes - where they are left untampered to bear the transcription of the sunshine, soil and soul of the Western Cape.
