Misterie

Grilled flat iron steak with blue cheese butter.

Rooted in the oldest viticulture soil in the world, it is made up of decomposed granite on the lower slopes of the Helderberg Mountain. This vineyard enjoyed the refreshingly cool breezes from False Bay (Atlantic Ocean) during the day and cool air at night flowing down the mountain, resulting in even ripening of the berries and good natural acidity. The macro climate is maritime, with cold wet winters and sunny warm summers, with the Helderberg Ward being the coolest in the Stellenbosch region. Single Vineyard block. It is further grown naturally, without the use of any pesticides, herbicides or chemical sprays.

This wine is matured in 80% new French oak barrels for 24 months, where after it is bottled, but aged in bottle for at least another 24 months.

In the winery, ‘soft hands’ are used to preserve its natural lusciousness and fermentation occurs naturally.
