Goes very well with hearty meat dishes such as lamb stew with cumin or a spicy venison ragout.

The oldest soil in the world for winegrowing consists of decomposed granitan on the lower slopes of the Helderberg. This vineyard enjoys the refreshingly cool breeze from False Bay (Atlantic Ocean) during the day and the cool night air that flows down the mountain, which resulted in uniform ripening of the berries and good natural acidity. The macroclimate is maritime, with cold, humid, wet winters and sunny, warm summers. Biodynamic practices were also used in the vineyard. At the winery, the grapes were sorted twice — first the whole bunches and then the berries to ensure that only the best grapes went into the fermentation tank. Extraction is carried out through reassembly, which is carefully monitored to prevent over-extraction during primary and secondary fermentation. The wine aged in French oak barrels for 22-24 months.
