Vineyards are planted at a altitude of 120 m to about 220 m above sea level. All vines are trellished on a 7 strand hedge system and drip irrigated. The vines are planted at a desity of about 3,333 vines per hectare in granite, shale and sandstone-based soils. These ancient soils are amoungst some of the oldest on earth. Decomposed granite soils prevent water logging and add minerality whilst the valley floors have pockets of higher clay content with excellent water-retention properties.<br/>Vinification Details - Grapes were machine harvested and delivered early in the morning to the cellars. All bunches were carefully selected and sorted before the whole berries were transferred into stainless steel tanks for fermentation. After a 3-day cold soak the tanks were inoculated with a specific yeast to start the fermentation. During fermentation 2 pump overs per day were conducted to extract enough fruit, colour and tannins for the final wine. After a 14-day fermentation the tanks were pressed. Only post malolactic fermentation the components were blended together to be bottled.<br/>Winemaker - Leon Esterhuizen<br/><br/><b>Allergy Advice</b><br/>Sulphur Dioxide/Sulphites - Contains<br/><br/><b>Wine Colour</b><br/>Colour - Red<br/><br/><b>Lower Age Limit</b><br/>Statutory - Years - 18<br/><br/><b>Storage Type</b><br/>Ambient<br/><br/><b>Recommended Storage</b><br/>Storage Type - This wine can be drunk now but will further improve if carefully stored for up to <><br/><br/><b>Safety Statements</b><br/>Pregnancy Warning<br/><br/><b>Country</b><br/>Country of Origin - South Africa<br/><br/><b>Provenance</b><br/>Wine of South Africa<br/><br/><b>Company Name</b><br/>C&C Group / CWE UK Ltd<br/><br/><b>Company Address</b><br/>C&C Group,<br/>
