This is our premium wine, requiring precise viticulture to achieve the desired quality. Cabernet Sauvignon and Malbec grow in shallow soils with sandy, quartz-rich topsoil over deep clay, producing small, concentrated berries. Vines are carefully managed to maintain balance, with excess fruit removed where necessary. Yields are kept to around 8 tons per hectare. Before harvest, unripe bunches and green berries are removed to ensure only the best fruit reaches the cellar.bunches and green berries, ensuring that only the best fruit is delivered to the cellar.

The wine spent 22 months in oak before being bottled. Bottles are stored in the cellar in a controlled environment for a further 24 months before being tasted and released.

All bunches follow our standard processing protocol of double sorting by hand: first whole bunch sorting, followed by de-stemming, then berry sorting. The grapes were then gently crushed, just to perforate the skin and release some juice. The grapes were cold soaked in the stainless-steel tank for a couple of days to extract colour and flavour before undergoing alcoholic fermentation. Once alcoholic fermentation is complete, the wine is drained and the remaining solids are pressed – these fractions are transferred into French oak barrels, but kept separately. The Cabernet Sauvignon is matured in new French oak barrels, except for the Malbec which is matured in neutral French oak.

Time at Baccō is a slow rhythm, gently flowing like the seasons. Just as the life cycle of the vine cannot be rushed, creating any rare work of art requires patience. We believe that true wellbeing lies in synergy with nature, nurturing our environment and savouring its gifts. Our wines are made with this mindful, unhurried approach, to be generous and engage all the senses. Baccō is a family inspired project borne from Nathan Jankelowitz’s passion for the art of producing premium quality wines. Long inspired by the opulence of the Super Tuscan region, Nathan dreamt of bringing this holistic, experiential brand of luxury to South African wine lovers. A dream that has now become a magnificent reality.
