The grapes come from higher-elevation, ocean-facing slopes on Helderberg Mountain, with a cooling maritime influence. After cold maceration at around 12 °C, the wine ferments completely spontaneously with natural yeasts; the must remains on the skins for around ten days. It is initially matured for nine months in 600-litre French demi-muids, then assembled and aged for a further five to six months in wood. Stylistically, the vintage combines dark fruit and spicy earthiness with fresh acidity, a mineral, salty finish and well-integrated tannins. Pressing takes place exclusively through natural free run.
