This wine originates from one of the highest laying vineyards in the Breede River Valley halfway up the Langeberg Mountains behind the village of Ashton. This small Pinot Noir vineyard is rooted in Weathered Karoo shale and even in summer is sometimes covered in clouds.
WINE MAKING
The grapes were harvested fully ripe by hand in the cool early morning end February, destemmed by hand and received a cold maceration for one week before fermentation.
Alluring nose showing red cherries and forest floor notes, following though with a rich and full palate possessing a core of dark fruit with soft fruity tannins.

An elegant and well balanced Shiraz with darkly spiced berries, sweet red fruit and subtly spicy flavours complimented by soft juicy tannins.
In order to achieve a luscious, juicy wine, we try to have as little intervention in the cellar as possible.The result is a velvety wine with softer tannins and classical varietal characteristics. This traditional wine is unfiltered and unfined, which may deposit sediment and might require decanting.
Nose: Scent of tabacco, cigar box, spice, cherries and fresh red fruit Pallet: Fruit driven with round tannin Shiraz Maturation: 10 Months Foudre Cask followed by 3 months in neutral, 225L barrels
Nose: Dark fruit, berries, plums and spice Pallet: Full, rich, fruity with juicy and smooth tannin structure Maturation: 10 months Foudrè casks followed by 3 months in neutral 225 french oak barrels
This Shiraz is made from fully ripe grapes for a complex wine with prominent spice and berry flavours. A full-bodied dark red wine with lovely dried fruit flavours and spiciness, soft tannins make it easy-drinking. Lovely smoked coffee flavours from barrel contact.
