The grapes come from a 27-year-old dry-farmed bush-vine vineyard on neighbouring Klipdam in Paarl. The wine was hand-harvested, gently whole-bunch pressed, fermented in used barriques and matured for nine months on the fine lees. It shows lychee, ripe pear, Cantaloupe and floral Muscat notes, and is medium-bodied, juicy and fresh; the oak maturation provides texture without making the wine noticeably oaky. The finish is clear and bone-dry. According to the merchant, the only substance added is a small amount of sulphur.
