The heart of this blend come from a Cabernet Sauvignon Clone 46 vineyard, situated on a south westerly facing slope 150 - 200m above sea level, playing a big role in the aromatic potential and fruit density on the palate. The Petit Verdot come from Zevenrivieren in the Banghoek Valley and is grown in rocky clay spoils that adds mid palate weight and tannic finesse to the blend. The different sites each offer an element to the wine that adds complexity and definition to the wine.
