Wine Information
Accolades
Other	The origin of these grapes stems from a single block 10 year old bush-vine vineyard in the Stellenbosch region. Harvesting took place late February at a balling of 25°. Skin fermentation was allowed for three weeks, where-after pressing, malolactic fermentation and ageing in second– and third-fill French oak barrels occurred. Light filtration and bottling followed afterwards.
