The estate concentrates on red wines. Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon and Pinotage are thus planted in the very sandy earth. Only hand-selected red grapes from vineyards on the farm are used for the wines. To ensure that every wine reaches the peak of perfection, all the wines are matured for between 12 and 24 months in oak barrels.  A small production of ±6 000 cases per year ensures attention to detail.

A priority is foliage management:  the sand soil reflects the sunlight against the grapes and the team therefore guards against removing too much foliage as the foliage protects the grapes and inhibits the alcohol level through less sun exposure.

Patrons can enjoy a glass of wine on the new veranda overlooking the vineyards and the site of the "walk to freedom".  And cold days are no excuse to stay away:  A huge fireplace in the renovated tasting room keeps you warm on the coldest of days (as does the wine, of course).

"We see our wine drinkers as genderless and of all ages, people who are serious about their wine.  Those who enjoy new wine experiences and like a specific type of wine that tells its own story."

Enjoy!!!
