- The bouquet presents enticing aromas of black cherry and plum, intricately interwoven with nuances of dark chocolate and spice. This delightful amalgamation unfolds on the palate, delivering a harmonious burst of black forest fruit with delicious hints of chocolatey, toasty oak.
The grapes were destemmed but not crushed and transferred to open-top stainless steel fermenters. A cold soak lasted four days to extract colour, flavour, and fine tannins, during which twice-daily pump-overs occurred. A two-week skin maceration followed fermentation before being gently pressed. Twenty per cent of the wine was aged in a combination of new and old barrels for 12 months.
Enticing black cherry and plum aromas, dark chocolate, and spice lead to a harmonious palate bursting with black forest fruit and delicious hints of chocolatey, toasty oak.

Winery | The Breedekloof Valley is surrounded by steep mountain slopes and the meandering Breede River, which flows through the wide, fertile valley. Breedekloof lies west of Worcester, with the Slanghoek Mountains marking its western border and the Badsberg Mountain dividing the Breedekloof area in two. The mountains have a moderating effect on the climate, with mountain shadows providing respite for the vines from the hot sun, by shortening the days and bringing cooler nights. These diurnal temperature differences create a long, slow ripening period, which results in ripe flavours and natural balancing acidity. The varying soil types in Breedekloof range from sandy loam around the river's banks to rockier, more stony soils on the steep mountain slopes. The well-drained mountain soils encourage the vine's roots to dig deeper for water and nutrients, resulting in lower yields. The grapes are hand-picked during the early hours of the day, often just after sunrise.
