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.

Inviting aromas redolent of mocha and chocolate with elegant flavours of prune.
Brimming with abundant blackcurrant aromas, this full bodied wine is a mouthful of juicy plumb and black cherry flavours.
Cabernet Sauvignon and Touriga Nacional in perfect harmony. Opulent plums and black cherries with
cigar box and vanilla spicing. Matured for 24 months in new oak. Vibrant, elegant, already showing
silky accessibility but with a long life ahead.
2 years new barrel maturation, 4 years bottle maturation. No crushing of berries, no yeast but that from their skins, no fining- additives and no filters. Wine made by itself, kept for two years in the best new French-oak barrels, fit for this wonder. It is a piece of our history, our passion, labour and luck we were selling. It is our finest expression of Cabernet Sauvignon, and the best we can do. Will age for another 15-20 years.
A superb blend of The Family of Red wines: Merlot (35%), Pinotage (30%), Shiraz (15%), Tinta Barocca
(10%), Ruby Cabernet (5%) and Touriga Nacional (5%). Flavours of ripe berry and plum with layers of
creamy vanilla, nuts and dark chocolate on the palate. A perfect partner for red meat.
