Pale bright gold - whiff of cream and clementine, peach and quince, with hints of vanilla and judicious oak maturation overtones. Tropical notes on the pallet also display white juicy fruits of lychee and apricot. Rich, concentrated, and with mouth-watering appeal, this full bodied yet soft wine will round out to become even longer and more lingering.

50% whole bunch pressed and 50% de-stemmed, in a closed pneumatic bag press for a 1 hour period of skin contact. Pressed at 0.8 of a bar and immediately transferred into small French oak barrels (1st, 2nd and 3rd fill). Fermented ‘wild’ at temperatures between 14-17 celcius for up to 25 days. 100% malolactic fermentation occurred naturally on this wine. Stirred on the lees and aged for 11 months. Only limited amounts of sulphur added during vinification and at bottling.

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.
