  • WINEMAKER: Danie de Wet

  • TERROIR: Sourced from vineyards in Robertson, characterized by heavy clay soils rich in limestone, which contribute to the wine's complexity and minerality.

  • AGING: Aged on the lees in stainless steel tanks to enhance texture and depth.

  • TASTING NOTES: Aromas of grapefruit and nuts lead to a palate that balances nuanced elegance with delicate ripeness, culminating in a crisp, mineral finish.

  • FOOD PAIRINGS: Complements dishes such as oysters (fresh or steamed), shrimp linguine with herbed butter sauce, and lemony asparagus, pea, and fava bean salad with fresh tarragon.
