Description
We are two young dynamic individuals with a passion for excellence in the wine that we produce. While some of the wines we have produced have received various awards, we are still building on our success in a quest for excellence. We are rooted in the vineyards where we buy our grapes and work closely with the vineyard owners. This ensures that we can maintain the quality and consistency of our wines. Our philosophy is to produce wines that epitomises the soil, climate, and vintage. This is achieved not only by the vision and skill of the winemaker but by ensuring that we remain true to the culture and purity of winemaking and vineyard cultivation. Our vineyards are all located in the Swartland wine region. The majority of the grapes come from around the village of Abbotsdale to the south western part of the Swartland region which has influence from the Altantic Ocean which cools the afternoons and evenings. We buy grapes from family owned vineyards and select special parcels from growers that work organically without the use of pesticides, inorganic fertilizers, herbicides or fungicides.

Bryan MacRobert Tasting Note
Lovely complex and rich nose, notes of peach, apricot, apple and lime. Pure, weighty, precise palate. Mineral and tight. This wine is elegant yet complex and has potential to go some time in the bottle. Great wine. This is a single vineyard Chenin Blanc made from a vineyard to the south western corner of the Swartland region. The vines are planted in a north south direction on an easterly facing slope. The vineyard receives morning sun and the cooling atlantic breeze in the afternoons. It is 35 years old and produces on average 21 HL per hectare. One of the cooler Chenin Blanc vineyards in the Swartland. The vineyard is cultivated following organic guidelines without pesticides, inorganic fertilizers or systemic herbicides and fungicides.
Gilbert Gaillard Tasting Note
Appealing, brilliant, clear yellow-gold. Ripe fruit on the nose where white fruits meld with toast tones. Beautifully rich palate revealing more of the very ripe nose aromatics and a sourness fairly typical of the grape variety on the finish. Score -87
