The vines are planted on the lower slopes of the Helderberg, on weathered granite, around five kilometres from False Bay. The maritime climate, with cool sea breezes and cold night air, favours slow ripening and natural acidity. The grapes were fermented spontaneously or naturally in open fermentation vessels, without enzymes, preservatives or stabilising agents, and the wine was then matured for 24 months in used French oak barrels. It shows intense aromas of blackberry, plum and black cherry, along with sweet vanilla spice, savoury notes, powerful, muscular yet velvety tannins and a full-bodied, age-worthy style.
