Aromas and flavors of ripe apples and some notes reminiscent of chalk or an apple core. Dry, light-bodied and refreshing with a touch of tannin derived from the time spent on the skins. 

Grapes were sourced from a single, dry-farmed, bushvine vineyard planted in heavy clay based Malmesbury Shale soils. It’s on Klipdam Farm and was planted in 1987 (37 years old) . This South-western corner of the Paarl appellation borders on Stellenbosch and benefits from the moderating influence of the ocean which is approximately 30km West (Table Bay) and 30 km South (False Bay). Average annual rainfall is 650mm.  

The grapes were hand-harvested during the cool morning hours and fermented as whole bunches in a clay amphora and a small open-topped tank. After 12 days the bunches were pressed. Maturation took place in a clay amphora and a single barrique for 6 months. No Sulphur or any other additions were made to the wine before bottling.
