Region: Stellenbosch. Soil: Duplex soils, sandy material on a ferricrete bank on patches of deeper clay. Locality: South-south-west.
- Harvest Notes
-
Primarily from a vineyard planted in 1974, with no trellis system, hence “goblet” or bush vines. This vineyard produces very limited yields and by passing through the vineyard to make 7-8 selections of fruit across a 4/5-week window, we truly capture the essence of this fantastic site.
