Overview

Sourced from three Stellenbosch sub-regions, this blend features grapes from Stellenbosch Kloof, known for cooler climates and herbaceous fynbos with tropical fruit notes; Polkadraai, offering dominant stone and tropical fruit expressions; and Helderberg, which adds a Loire-like classic flinty minerality, gravel, and salinity. Despite being in their middle years, nearing old vine status, these vineyards are in excellent condition thanks to the meticulous care provided.
