The vines stand on the lower slopes of the Helderberg, on weathered granite. Cool breezes from False Bay and mountain air at night encourage even ripening and natural acidity. The grapes were hand-picked early, sorted and cold-macerated in stainless-steel tanks. Fermentation took place with wild yeasts and no enzymes, followed by 17 months of ageing in French oak. In the glass, it shows ripe black cherry and rose petals, along with Fynbos and vanilla notes, soft tannins and a fresh, supple body.
