Dark ruby in colour, a subtle nose of dark fruits (cherries, blackcurrants and loganberries) with a whiff of violets. Luscious blackberry notes and a hint of spice on the palate supported by subtle French oak integration – well rounded, finely balanced, smooth tannin structure and a long finish.

100% de-stemmed and crushed with an addition of sulphur at 20 parts per million. Left to cold soak for 48 hours, inoculated with a strain of Rhone yeast, fermented at temperatures between 18-28 celsius for 7 days, pumped over twice a day, tank closed off for 12 days, pressed, and racked back into tank for full malolactic fermentation before being transferred for maturation in small French oak barrels.

Hilton Vineyards

Established in 2003 our finite production is dedicated to the crafting of fine Cape wines with the focus on Syrah and Viognier. Our philosophy is not simply to make great wines but to harness the flavours and complexities of both varietal and 'terroir' such that provenance and sense of place are all.
