In the vineyard, This Shiraz is sourced from dryland farmed vineyards in the prestigious Swartland area. Shiraz loves the “Mediterranean” climate of the Cape and grapes ripen with thick skins packed with tannins and colour.

In the cellar │ No oak was used during the aging of this Shiraz, resulting in a very fruit-forward and spicy wine. The grapes were picked at 22 to 24 degrees Balling and fermented in stainless steel tanks. Post fermentation we leave the wine on the skins to maximize complexity and mouthfeel.
