Origin

Wine of Origin South Africa.

In the vineyard

The grapes for this Shiraz are hand-picked from two blocks of high-altitude vineyards that individually produce 4 - 8 tons per hectare. The vines grow on well-drained granite soils. Harvest is done by hand in mid-season at perfect ripeness.

In the cellar

The selection of bunches takes place in the cellar before pressing and fermentation. Fermentation takes place before delicate soft pressing in a vertical press.
After malolactic fermentation, the wine matures in French oak barrels for a period of 14 months.
