Being able to produce this wine from the hallowed La Colline vineyard in Franschhoek (planted C. 1930) is always one of the highlights of my year.

After one racking and 9 months maturation, the wine was lightly filtered in preparation for bottling.

The grapes once harvested were given 10 days of carbonic maceration then pressed directly to neutral oak barrels.

Raised by Wolves is the brainchild of Adam Mason winemaker at Mulderbosch Vineyards. The name is a parody of the constant one-upmanship of winemakers: My wine is a single vineyard. ... Yeah well my wine is naturally fermented. ... Oh yeah well my wine is hand sorted by berry. And Adam's response: Well my wines are all of the above and I was raised by wolves. The Raised by Wolves wines are all vinified with minimalistic intervention to allow the true character of the varietal and the site-specific terroir to shine through.
