Series M in Box

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

The dry and windy start to spring in September 2012 produced tell-tale weather patterns for a great 2013 vintage. Our locality on the northern Simonsberg bench managed to side step the devastating winds that later wreaked havoc through many of the vineyards around Stellenbosch. Weather leading to harvest ranged from mild to very warm, allowing our grapes to reach full, balanced phenolic ripeness with ease.

The Series M 2013 matured for twenty months in French oak barrique (seventeen percent new) and a year in bottle before release. Malbec (forty-five percent) gives its suppleness and deep black fruit flavours; Merlot (thirty-four percent) provides complex red fruit aromas of raspberry, red cherry and plum, while the Cabernet Sauvignon (twenty-one percent) grounds the Series M with structure and density.
