Climate / Quality of the soil:
Ideal Mediterranean climate, the Paarl and Wellington mountains interrupt the wind flow capturing the winter rain / summer winds weather pattern.

The blocks are carefully manipulated for high concentrated flavour. Harvest in January at dawn to keep grapes cool for vinification.

Merlot and Shiraz

Winemaker comments:
Red and black fruit aromas, salami on the nose with a hazelnut finish hanging in the air. Slightly smoky with a marmite character on the palate and with a cool minty nuance. Our modern winemaking techniques give this wine ripeness, purity, succulence, depth and complexity on the palate.
Food matches:
Serve with red meats, red sauce pastas, lamb, strong-flavoured cheese, and even dark chocolates.
Drinking temperature:
Best served at room temperature.
