An alluring nose with cherries, ripe blackberries, and a combination of white and black pepper. These follow through to a palate that is wonderfully weighted, with fine grained tannins that provide just enough grip. A wine that balances weight and power with brightness and elegance.

Various parcels were picked and fermented separately. Some parcels were left to ferment as whole bunches, some with a small number of stems added back, and some destemmed fully, but no crushing was done on any component. In total 15% of the final blend was from whole bunch fermentation. Extraction protocols were based on daily tastings and therefore differed for each component, but varied between 3 pump-overs a day and 1 pump-over once every 2nd day.

Between two mighty oceans on the southern tip of Africa lies the historic Saxenburg Wine Farm. Here memory and the seasons conspire with the cellarmaster’s craft to produce unique wines of consistent and exceptional quality. For centuries wayfarers bound for the East Indies found hospitality and relief at the Fairest Cape. At Saxenburg we extend this tradition and invite you to visit our world.
