Winemaker Notes

Harvested on the 27th of March, 2020 on a chilly, cloudy day at 23.6 degrees balling. Grapes were de-stemmed (not crushed) and moved to closed, stainless steel fermenter and inoculated with a Bordeaux style yeast. Pump-overs for soft, silky extraction took place twice per day for 10 days. At this point, free run wine at 2 balling was put in barrel to finish alcoholic and malolactic fermentation.

Composition – 100% Cabernet Sauvignon

Appellation – Cape Agulhas, South Africa

Terroir – These young vines are located in the flats just below the mountainside where the Pinot Noir and Sauvignon Blanc are located. Planted in decomposed granite soil.

Wood – 11 months in 2nd fill 300L French oak barrels

Production – 500 bottles
