ORIGIN: 
Coastal Region

TERROIR / SOIL:
The weathered granite soils, good water retention, and medium fertility contribute to low yields and ripe fruit flavours.  Planted in 2015, the vineyards were nurtured with drip irrigation and trained on a Lyre system. They are influenced by cool south-west and south-east winds throughout the season, with a proximity of 5 km from False Bay.

WINEMAKING:
The grapes were hand-harvested, de-stemmed and fermented in stainless-steel tanks for colour extraction and fruit preservation. Fermentation was completed in 15 days, followed by racking to third-fill barrels to continue malolactic fermentation. The wine underwent 14 months of maturation in exclusively 300L third-fill French-oak barrels.
