The Proprietor's Blend is a blend of six grape varieties that are grown on the property. These vineyards grow on the warm, north-facing slopes of the Helderberg region within the Stellenbosch appellation. These special varieties thrive under these conditions and produce rich, full-bodied red wines. With an altitude of about 250 meters above sea level, along with the cooling influence of the Atlantic, the ripening period can be extended, resulting in wines with phenolic maturity. The grapes are harvested by hand in the early morning coolness. Whole berries are fermented in open tanks and barrels with intermittent pumping and parting to ensure a balance between flavor, color and tannin extraction from the skins. All fermentations are meticulously monitored to ensure that all natural flavors and flavors are retained. After primary fermentation, some tanks undergo prolonged maceration. Each variety is matured separately in oak before final blending. Aged for 18 months. 95% in 300 liter French oak barrels (35% new) and 5% in 300 liter American oak barrels (30% new).
