Hand harvested early in the morning to ensure that all those excellent flavours are captured in maximum quantity, before each bunch is de-stemmed before pressing. Flavours of green fig, apples and sweet melon are easily found, with a tingle of wood from the chardonnay catching a glimpse in the second half. Alkie describes this reasoning as, “…the Chardonnay enhances the distinct green-fig flavour of the Sauvignon Blanc, which in return retains the tropical fruit in the Chardonnay to blend perfectly.”

Winemaker and Partner Alkie van der Merwe spares no effort in producing some of the most exciting wines we’ve drunk in a long while. The stylistic aim is to produce wines that taste like the grapes they came from…something of a novelty with many of today’s wines! All grapes are harvested BY HAND and selected simultaneously.
