The grapes come from the Helderberg, around six kilometres from False Bay. The mineral site consists of weathered granite over clay; cool Atlantic breezes and the protection of the mountain shape the microclimate. The grapes are picked by hand early in the morning into small baskets. Fermentation takes place spontaneously with natural yeasts in small open vessels, without enzymes, preservatives or stabilising agents. The wine then matures for 20 months in used French oak barrels. It shows raspberry, red cherry, rose petal, wild herbs and citrus, along with lively acidity, silky tannins, medium body and a spicy, savoury, umami-like finish. Bottled unfiltered; natural sediment may occur.
