Our Estate is situated at an altitude of between 250 and 380 metres above sea level and is located 7.5 km from the False Bay shoreline, to the South. Altitude and proximity to the Antarctic currents of the Atlantic Ocean, allows for natural cooling. It is the exposure to this unhindered inland movement of cool air during the summer months, which contributes to the slow, even ripening of our grapes. These prevailing sea breezes have an additional benefit of protecting the health of our vines throughout the year. Making wines that embody origin is the ultimate outcome we strive for. We also respect nature and the preservation thereof; it is thus an endeavour of our team to rehabilitate the flora of this estate to that which is indigenous to the Cape, so as to maintain a balance between our natural environment and agriculture.
Description
"Engaging aromatics of red berries, some leafiness, and pencil shavings precede a palate that is medium-bodied (alcohol is 13.5%) with good freshness and fine, chalky tannins. It combines clarity of fruit with a pleasing tension and comes across as both elegant and understated, very much recalling the Crescendo that Chris Keet made in the late 1990s." CE
Food Pairing
