Please note: Award stickers are applied at the producer's discretion and may not be present on all bottles.

Grapes harvested from registered heritage vineyard planted in 1982. Handpicked crushed and destemmed (with skin-contact in press). Natural sedimentation overnight after pressing (light and gentle pressing with maximum pressure of 0.8 kPA). After settling, the wine is racked to 500L barrels for spontaneous fermentation. Fermentation can last between 2 – 4 weeks.

Planted in 1982 these old bush vines now never yield more than 4 tons per Hectare. Unirrigated and planted in weathered granite topsoil and crumbly clay sub-soil it’s called “Kliprug” because of all the numerous rocks on the ground.

The wine is aged in barrel for 10 months prior to bottling.
