Production Details Mourvedre comes from two estate vineyards on the slopes of the Simonsberg, one goblet-pruned and one box-pruned. In the 2022 growing season, a cool and dry summer yielded concentration and even ripeness, and the fruit arrived in excellent condition at the winery. Crushed grapes were left in contact with their skins for one to two hours before pressing, giving the wine its salmon and onion-skin colouration. The wine was fermented naturally in stainless steel tanks and bottled with minimal intervention. Production: 800 cases. Grapes certified organic in conversion by Ecocert ZA-BIO-154.
