Tasting note
Pinnacle of what we consider to be the finest expression of the grapes of this varietal. Rich, layered with dried apricot, vanilla and honey.
Viticulture
Stellenbosch vineyards , old vines , primarily from a vineyard planted in 1974 with no trellis system, hence global or bush vines. Limited yields 7 - 8 selections of fruit across a 4/5 week window.
Vinification
Hand harvested and selected primarily from low yielding old bush vines - harvested at full maturity - multiple pickings . The wine is all fermented with native yeasts, spontaneously in large 400 L French oak barrels and aged for 10 - 12 months before careful selection of the best barrels and assemblage.
Food Match
Spiced dishes, mild seafood/ shellfish or curries - great with Eastern spiced foods.
