Our Tasting Note:  A LOT of wine for the money, this has taken over as our value Cabernet based wine in our values section as it way over delivers for the price for a new world styled Cabernet Sauvignon based wine.  A deep, dark red core, vibrant magenta edges.  The nose easily wafts from the glass with notes of fresh blackberry, black raspberry, minty eucalyptus, the red fruits are bright, rich and fresh, crazy complexity and flavor for the price.  Medium to full bodied, with medium grain youthful and polished tannins. Biodynamic and organic too!

Terroir
Rooted in the oldest viticulture soil in the world, it is made up of decomposed granite on the lower slopes of the Helderberg Mountain. This vineyard enjoyed the refreshingly cool breezes from False Bay (Atlantic Ocean) during the day and cool air at night flowing down the mountain, resulting in even ripening of the berries and good natural acidity. The macro climate is maritime, with cold wet winters and sunny warm summers, with the Helderberg Ward being the coolest in the Stellenbosch region.

Viticulture
The vineyards are meticulously cared for by hand and the crop is reduced to ensure maximum quality. Biodynamic & Organic practices are followed and therefore no herbicides or chemical sprays were used in the production of these grapes.

Winemaking
This wine is made naturally and in a biodynamic way by not making use of any commercial yeasts, enzymes or fining agents. It is further not filtered or cold stabilized and may therefore in time show harmless sediment. The wine was matured for 36 months in French oak barrels, with 10% new oak and the balance in 2nd, 3rd and 4th fill barrels. With proper cellaring, this wine will improve and continue to reward over the next 15 years.
