South facing and elevated 340 meters above sea level, these 20 year old vines look out over False Bay and are planted on the coolest site on our farm. The soil is mainly decomposed granite with clay subsoil helping to buffer the vines during stress. The grapes from this site derive the full benefit from the cool sea breeze during the slow ripening stages. Pungency, aroma and full concentration are the hallmark of this fine Sauvignon Blanc. There is no shortage of these varietal characteristics on these lofty southern slopes.

The barrel component was in 500L seasoned French oaked barrels for 6 months.

The blend for 2020 is 85% Sauvignon Blanc and 15% Semillon. 50% of the blend was fermented in stainless steel tank for freshness and aromatics, while the remaining 50% was barrel fermented and aged on the lees to give the wine mid-palate weight, length and texture.
