Production Details The 2025 harvest was marked by slightly below-average volumes, a result of the dry conditions experienced during the late summer and harvest period. These weather conditions proved advantageous for grape quality, resulting in good natural acidity and sugar levels in the grapes. This balance of concentrated flavours, intense colour and vibrant acidity promises exceptional wines for the vintage. The grapes were de-stemmed, whereafter skin contact followed for two hours. Great care was taken to ensure clear, free-run juice is extracted before fermentation, as it infuses the pure, concentrated fruitiness of the dry land grapes into the wine. The wine was kept on the lees until bottling, with no lees stirring. No malolactic fermentation took place to keep the natural acidity of the grapes.
Tasting Notes

Production Details Made in a lightly wooded style, thirty percent of this wine has spent ten months in 500-litre French oak barrels and, once bottled, was aged a further six months. The grapes were harvested at 23 - 24° Balling from a combination of vineyards ranging from 18-year-old Grenache Blanc and Viognier vineyards to a 38-year-old Chenin Blanc vineyard in the Paarl/Swartland area. These vineyard blocks used little to no irrigation as they primarily relied on winter rainfall.

Production Details The grapes are harvested from old vines in the Perdeberg area. The vines are in natural balance, giving a low yield of 7 tons per hectare to enhance fruit complexity. For this aromatic blend, the grapes are hand selected and harvested in small crates. Upon arrival at the cellar, further selection takes place to ensure only the finest bunches are used. After the grapes are de-stemmed and crushed, two hours skin contact is given to extract maximum flavour. Only free running juice is used to create this unique blend. 40% of this Blend has been aged for 10 months in 500 litre French oak barrels, combination of 1st, 2nd and 3rd fill.
