14 months in a 500 L Manetti amphora and an older 300 L French oak barrel.

Hand-harvested grapes were brought in small lug boxes. Most were destemmed and fermented in a small open-top tank; the remainder underwent whole-bunch fermentation in a 500 L amphora. The parcels were pressed separately, with the amphora-fermented portion forming the larger share of this limited release.

Cavalli Wine Estate is located on the outskirts of Stellenbosch, South Africa in an area known as the Helderberg also known as the Golden Triangle due to the exceptional quality of wines that are produced in this region. With 27ha of vineyards planted in rich koffieklip soils and cooled by late afternoon breezes from False Bay our vineyards benefit tremendously by the unique terroir in which the vines are planted. The utmost care is taken to ensure that the vineyards are meticulously farmed for the production of only the most premium quality fruit. Cavalli Wine Estate is home to some of the best Chenin blanc and Cabernet sauvignon in the region, both of which have been at the helm of producing award winning wines. We also focus on Chardonnay, Viognier, Verdelho, Malbec, Petit Verdot and Shiraz.
