The grapes are hand- harvested at optimal ripeness. They are then destalked, crushed and fermented for 7 days on their skins in open fermenting tanks. The average fermentation temperature is 25-30° C. After fermentation the skins are pressed in traditional basket presses. The free run and pressed juices are combined and Malolactic fermentation spontaneously takes place in the tank. The wine was racked and matured in new 225l oak barrels (80% French, 20% American) for 12 months. After barrel maturation the wine was blended (60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot), fined and bottled. The wine has a deep red colour. A smooth, easy drinking red wine to be enjoyed now. A lighter style Cabernet blend. The herby, berry character of the Cabernet Sauvignon is apparent and complimented by the fruitiness of the merlot. To be enjoyed now, but can be aged for another 2 – 3 years.
Pairs with: Grilled fillet steak topped with camembert cheese with black berry sauce or blue cheese and crispy bacon pasta.
Fermentation took place in open fermentation tanks at 28 ̊C with 2-4 manual punch downs daily with 80% of the grapes left as whole bunches. Some tanks were inoculated with noble yeasts such as D254 and WE372 while most underwent natural fermentation. While fermentation was still taking place, the grapes were pressed gently up to 1.3 bar pressure. The end of the fermentation and malo-lactic fermentation took place in small French oak barrels. The wine was matured in 20% new and 80% older barrels for a total maturation time of 20 months before blending for bottling.

The world’s first White Pinotage! Our first vintage of this wine was in 2007.
"The paradox of this wine is that the eye belies the other senses! Making white wine from red grapes using South Africa’s unique Pinotage grape. Whole bunch pressing prevented the juice from obtaining colour from the skins. Barrel fermented and matured for eleven months with lees stirring gives this wine a slightly creamy, nutty character to balance the tropical pineapple fruit and banana flavours."
The 2015 vintage was picked in three batches, the grapes were whole bunched pressed without de-stemming or crushing in a pneumatic “bag” press to minimise colour retention. Extended juice settlement for three days preceded fermentation in 300li Romanian oak barrels (13% new wood). The length of time for both fermentation and maturation in the barrel was eleven months, with "batonnage" (lees stirring) by rolling the barrels for six months on a weekly basis. The wine was bottled in December 2015 and released to the market in February 2016. Alcohol: 13.5% vol. (Diam cork closure).
Pairs with: strong flavoured fish and seafood, mild curries such as bobotie and chicken korma, and some Asian foods.
Roussanne (39%) - trellised vines, 8 years old, alluvial soils

Our Rocking Horse Cape White Blend takes its name from a wooden rocking horse that we made for our eldest daughter out of old oak barrel staves.
There’s a lot going on aromatically in this wine. The initial orange blossom, peach and burnt sugar aromas give way to more exotic wax, rosemary, caraway and sea-shore notes. It is layered and complex, and evolves beautifully in the glass.
The palate is fine, structured and rich with flavours of quince and tea-leaf that settle into a long finish.
Pairs with: Lamb, pork and poultry
