A blend of Roussanne, Grenache Blanc and Chenin Blanc. The complexity of this wine lies in the collection of seven different vineyard sites on the Olifantsberg Mountain. The blend is created after each component has matured separately for nine months in oak.

Tasting Note: The 2021 Olifantsberg Soul of the Mountain "The Matriarch" is a sophisticated white blend that balances textured depth with vibrant energy. It opens with an aromatic profile of musk, fennel, and exotic bazaar spices, leading into a layered palate of quince, beeswax, and pear sharpened by fresh lemon notes. The experience concludes with a long, characterful finish defined by a distinct salty, oyster shell undertone.

Vineyard: The "echalas" trellising plays an important role as these staked vines create a totally different micro-climate than trellised vineyards. Lower temperatures within the microclimate ensure better acidity and more aromatic grapes. The vines grow within shale, schist and sandstone-based soils with an underlying clay layer. The fine balance and mineral-rich composition of the soils is reflected in the elegance and complexity of the fruit from this vineyard.
