Overview

The Single Vineyard Cabernet Franc is sourced from a vineyard on the Mulderbosch farm where it thrives on the free draining ‘koffieklip’ soils of the Southern slopes of Stellenbosch Kloof, 12-odd kilometres from False Bay. After undergoing daily pump-overs and a generous 4 weeks on skins, it completes malolactic fermentation before aging for 21 months. Maturation occurs in a combination of French oak barrels (50% new, 50% 2nd fill) and a single foudre, ensuring a harmonious balance between fruit intensity and oak integration.
