Notes:

A red fruit and spices from time on wood, a minty richness complimented by earthy nuances of cloves and pepper. 61% Shiraz, 13% Pinotage, 13% Mourvedre, 13% Grenache

All the grapes from the individual cultivars were harvested optimally ripe during the end of January through to mid - March. We try to reflect the individuality of each cultivar during processing and use predominantly free run for the varietal wines and the blend. All components were matured for approximately 15 months with 40 – 60% new French oak.

Vinyards:

The Pinotage are planted in Tukulu type soil which has a high potential, runs deep, is well -drained soil and has no physical limitations. Clay content of the top soil is about 15% with a 20% fraction of fine gravel. The effective depth of the soil is 80cm and no drainage is required.
