Winemaking:

Handpicked in the Slanghoek Valley. Grapes are destemmed into open top fermenters; Cinsault in cement and Cabernet Sauvignon in old oak casks. Cinsault (of which 25% is whole bunch) is spontaneously fermented for 10 days after which it is pressed and racked to concrete tank. Cabernet Sauvignon underwent extended maceration in the oak casks for 30 days after which it was pressed, and the wine returned to the oak casks for 8 months. After the 8-month period the two components were blended and rested for a month before bottling and rested in bottle for another 4 months.

Solid. Light but full. Acid at the end, good with pasta and not full meat.
