| Other | From a simple love of wine grew a vision: to craft bottles that tell a story in every sip. What began as a small, passion-driven project - sourcing exceptional wine from a closed cellar and sharing it among friends - evolved into a dedicated pursuit of quality winemaking. Today, each release reflects a commitment to heritage vineyards, careful craftsmanship, and terroir-driven expression. This specific vineyard was planted between 1986 and 1988,the vines are proudly certified heritage vines and registered with the Old Vine Project. This reflects a deep commitment to preserving exceptional old vineyards and building a sustainable farming model that honours the land for generations to come. Every bottle is shaped by meticulous attention to detail. Grapes are hand-harvested and carefully sorted before gentle destemming and crushing. Only the finest free-run juice is selected, chilled, and fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel to preserve purity and freshness. The wine rests on fine lees for six months, adding texture and depth. The result is a balanced, expressive wine - crafted with care from vineyard to bottle. What started as a passion has grown into a curated collection of wines rooted in heritage, guided by craftsmanship, and created to be shared.Swartland, Western Cape |
