This wine pairs beautifully with gourmet pizza, carpaccio, or a rocket salad. The spiciness of the wine complements these dishes well​.

The grapes for this wine are sourced from various vineyards in the Stellenbosch and Paarl regions, with elevations ranging from 50 to 500 meters above sea level. The soils include Malmesbury Shale on deep red clay, contributing to the complexity of the fruit. The vineyards are a mix of bushvines and trellised vines, and irrigation is done both as dryland and with supplementary drip​.

The wine is aged for 14 months in 2nd and 3rd fill French oak barrels, adding subtle complexity without overpowering the fruit​.

The wine is made from 11 different ferments, with some including a small percentage of whole bunches to enhance the structure. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks, with a selective maceration process depending on flavor development. The wine is matured in 2nd and 3rd fill French oak barrels, along with 65-hectoliter foudres for 14 months​.
