The south-facing vineyards lie on iron-rich granite and schist soils at Piketberg; cooling westerly winds from the Atlantic and the daily temperature range promote freshness and slow ripening. The grapes come from six Cabernet-Sauvignon clones and are frequently pumped over and aerated during alcoholic fermentation. The wine is matured for twelve months in 300-litre barrels made from French, Hungarian and American oak. Stylistically, it is full and round, with dark fruit, velvety tannins and notes of tomato leaf, pencil shavings and mulberry. Source: official vintage technical sheet.
