The vines grow on highly alkaline marine limestone, around five kilometres from the Atlantic, in a cool coastal climate. For the documented 2016 vintage, Chenin Blanc and Chardonnay were fermented on their skins in open 500-litre vats with indigenous yeasts; Pinotage was whole-bunch pressed. All lots were aged separately for 18 months in barriques, 40 per cent of which were new French and Hungarian oak. The full-bodied white wine shows tropical fruit, peach, citrus, floral and spicy notes, a mineral texture and a long, refreshing finish. It was bottled unfiltered.
