Description

WINE OF ORIGIN: WALKER BAY

Winemaker’s Notes:

Walker Bay is synonymous with quality. Nudged by the Bot River lagoon with vistas of the Atlantic Ocean, the vineyards enjoy cool daytime temperatures that drop even more at night. A beneficial diurnal range aids in even ripening and complexity, ushering the development of delicate fruit notes, fine tannin structure and a bright acidity. Tapping into the diversity of slopes, soil types, row direction, cultivars and clones, the potential of these vineyards are set up to become a perfect snapshot of a vintage.

Bunches were hand-picked and berry sorted. Varietals and vineyard blocks were vinified and matured separately to ensure that each component reached its optimal potential. Each component was tasted individually, only the best used to make a blend that combines the unique attributes of each cultivar. Cultivars: 38% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Petit Verdot, 15% Merlot, 12% Malbec & 10% Cabernet Franc.

Maturation: 18 months. Oak: 45% new French oak.
