We make a Merlot-based Bordeaux
blend (St. Emillion) in the classical old French style. Our wines are low
in alcohol, compared to most wines in South Africa and have a good
acidity and freshness. Although we make only one wine, each year is
unique and each wine has its own individuality.
Our wines are made biologically with as little intervention
as possible. We do not filter our wines and maturation of our wines (not
ageing) takes place over two years in oak barrels. No sulphur is added
during fermentation and minimal thereafter. Instead we work with the
natural acidity of the grape to create a wine able to mature as opposed to
ageing. The wine is kept for one year at 18 degrees Celsius and for one
year at 15 degrees Celsius. We have also replaced our stainless steel tanks
with large French oak vats for fermentation.
Our first vintage is 1983 and our latest available vintage
is 2002. We have a selection of the older vintages available on
request. Wines can be delivered countrywide or available from the farm.
