Matura on: 16 months oak maturafion in 30% new 225L French Oak barrels and 225L American Oak barrels.
\nTerroir: The vines are rooted in deep red Hutton soils on north-facing slopes, catching the southerly breezes of summer and the frontal winds that punish the Cape from the north in winter. Cool growing condifions on exposed aspects, as well as the pracfise of dryland farming, sees the fruit develop slowly, drawing maximum variety expression on the vine. The result is fight bunches of small berries, ideal for making wines of structure, elegance and refinement.
\nOenology: The grapes were harvested at opfimum ripeness. Fermentafion in open-fermenters with Punch-downs and pump-overs every 3-4 hours controlled 25-28oC. MLF taking place in tank before the wine was racked into 225L French oak barrels.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
