The grapes come from a south-west-facing parcel on the False Bay side of the Helderberg. The poor, weathered granite soils have a clay-rich, iron-bearing subsoil and are farmed using biodynamic methods. In the cellar, fermentation takes place naturally with wild yeasts; the wine matures for around two years in wood, followed by several years of bottle ageing. The style is concentrated but not heavy: dark berries, black cherry, spicy and slightly cedar-like notes, soft, ripe tannins and a fresh, long finish. The wine is produced only in small quantities and is considered a particularly ageworthy Merlot.
