Goes well with hearty meat dishes.

The grapes come from a single Bokkeveld slate vineyard on the Gabriëlskloof property. A high clay content enables excellent water storage and a resulting ripe fruit profile in wine. Another factor that has a significant impact on our terroir is wind, and this vineyard location is fully exposed to the southeast wind and provides just enough stress for the vines to show their true colors. The grapes were picked by hand and brought directly to our cold room in small lie boxes, where they stayed overnight. Around 50% of the harvest was destemmed, the rest remained as whole grapes. The wine was fermented spontaneously in small, open fermentation containers and left on the skins for a long time after fermentation. The wine aged in 500-liter barrels for 14 months, using 10% new French oak.
