The vibrant ruby colour invites a closer look with earthy red and black berries, sunbaked fynbos, coriander spice, hedge row fruit with a balancing pomegranate undertone mingling on the palate with cured meat, macerated black cherry with dusty, balanced tannins and great depth. Overall impressive balance, intensity, understated silky texture and an unwavering fresh herb and spice finish.

Fresh Herbs

Grapes were hand-harvested, pre-cooled, and carefully sorted before partial destemming and gentle crushing, with around 20% wholebunch retained for lift, aromatic complexity, and fine tannin structure. Fermentation occurred spontaneously in closed tanks, with approximately 30 days on skins and a single daily pump-over for balanced extraction. After basket pressing, the wine completed malolactic fermentation in barrel.

We had a great winter, cold and wet, giving the vines the rest and hydration they needed for a strong start. The growing season stayed cool, creating near-perfect conditions for healthy vines and high-quality fruit. Budburst came a little later than usual but was nice and even across the vineyard, setting us up for a great year. Ripening happened during a warm, dry stretch without any extreme heat, and with no late season surprises or disease. The fruit came in beautifully, clean, balanced, and full of promise.

Brookdale Estate

Situated in a tranquil valley under the Klein Drakenstein mountains, Brookdale is surrounded by a world rich with life and beauty. Brookdale extends over 80 hectares with 27 planted to vine and the remainder left to revert to its natural habitat. Since the Rudd family began their stewardship of Brookdale, all alien vegetation has been cleared, valleys have been re-planted with 3600 indigenous trees and mountain slopes re-seeded with wild Cape fynbos and flowers. Bird and animal life are as rich and abundant. Every season brings different moods, different hues and different lives.
