The colour is light and reminiscent more of Pinot Noir than Pinotage. Red fruit and tobacco aromas compliment the delicate flavours and fine, elegant tannins.

<p>The grapes come from 21 and 43 year old vineyards that are unirrigated and farmed organically. The vineyard is about 250m above sea level on a north-west facing slope. The soil is decomposed Lammershoek granite. Yield is about 4 tons/ha.</p>

<p>The cellar presses 20% of the production as rosé to blend back later for a lower natural pH and more acidity. 30% of the rest of the vineyard is whole-bunch fermented with the balance de-stemmed. Fermentation lasts 8 days. Following fermentation, the wine is aged in wooden foudres and concrete tanks.</p>
