Production Details 100% ancient bush vine Semillon from Franschhoek Valley, including vines planted in 1905 and other heritage blocks. Hand-harvested, naturally fermented in new and older oak. 2023 harvest was smaller due to drought, resulting in more concentrated fruit. Impactful citrus tang and terrific mouthfeel with layers of expression.
