The vines grow on the slopes of Helderberg, on deep, weathered granite over clay; cooling breezes from False Bay and mountain winds encourage even ripening. The vines, averaging 40 years of age, are harvested by hand and yield-restricted. After sorting, the grapes ferment partly in small vessels and partly in stainless steel with their indigenous yeasts for around 14 days. The wine is matured for 16 months in French oak, 20 per cent of it new. It shows cassis, ripe berries, sweet spices, candied orange peel, rooibos and smoky charcuterie; it is full-bodied and spicy, with soft, juicy tannins and a long, savoury finish.
