Production
The grapes were fermented separately using natural yeasts from the vineyard in open top stainless steel tanks up to a maximum of 30ºC. The skins were pushed down 4 - 8 times during peak fermentation. Malo-lactic fermentation took place in the barrel where the wine had minimal handling. Use was made of traditional gravity flow and no mechanical pumps were used in the winemaking process. The wines were racked 3 times over a 22 month period. There was no filtration and the sulphur levels were kept to a minimum.Wood Ageing: 100% barrel aged in French & European oak barrels, 20% new French and European oak barrels, 24 months in 225ltr barrels.

Tasting notes
A red blend of Pinotage and Petit Verdot grapes resulting in a wine with an intensely dark blueish colour. A full bodied, rich wine with supple soft tannins but with a lively long finish. The nose has a hint of cinnamon, blueberries, fruitcake and wild heath.
