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.

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.
A beautifully balanced Cabernet Franc with concentrated dark and red berry fruit with hints of plum and spice all being complimented by a soft juicy palate.
Brimming with abundant blackcurrant aromas, this full bodied wine is a mouthful of juicy plumb and black cherry flavours.
It was our desire to produce a Bordeaux Blend and so we planted the classic varieties of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Petit Verdot. These vines were planted on carefully selected sites and took 9 years to reach maturity. The grapes were fermented whole with native yeasts and left for 5 weeks on their skins. The wine was then barrel aged for two years followed by four years of bottle maturation.
