A harmonious composition of Pinotage, Cabernet Sauvignon and
Merlot give texture, intensity and depth. It captures Danie Steytler
Snr’s vision of producing the ultimate Cape Blend, truly expressive
of Bottelary. Over time nuances and layers of flavour will unfold,
rewarding those patient enough to cellar.
TASTING NOTE
Power and concentration, within a tightly woven structure showing lots of promise. Generous cassis and black berries as well as vanilla and spice from oak. Complex and multi-dimensional. Those who can resist the temptation will be rewarded well with cellaring
IN THE VINEYARD
From vines planted between 1995 and 2002, these vines are all unirrigated and planted in low potential soils. Soil types are predominantly Clovelly and Tukulu.
IN THE CELLAR
These individual varieties are aged and vinified separately before blending and bottling. The grapes are individually inoculated with a biodynamic yeast culture, and fermented on skins until dry. Aftermalo-lactic conversion, the wine is transferred to barrels for ageing. After 20 months in barrel, the blend is carefully selected and bottled under inert conditions
