About the Producer
The vineyards in Banghoek Valley, Stellenbosch, sit at 300-500m elevation with mostly southerly exposure, ensuring moderate temperatures and slow ripening. Soils are leached granite and sandstone with gravel for drainage and clay for moisture retention. Vines are hand-pruned on steep slopes, yielding 5–8 tonnes/ha. Grapes are hand-harvested, berry sorted, and fermented naturally in stainless steel, finishing with a pure yeast strain. After gentle extraction and pressing, the wine undergoes malolactic fermentation in French oak barrels, with multiple rackings for clarity. Aged 22 months before bottling.
Food Pairing
Roast lamb with rosemary and crushed garlic.
