Walker Bay and the Hemel-en-Aarde valley nearby the whale-watching town of Hermanus, is a relatively recent addition to South Africa’s exciting wine topography, with great potential for cooler climate styles not commonly found elsewhere in the country.
A single-block wine perfectly expressing the region. Garnet-coloured an with aroma of pepper, cloves, dried apricots, and flavour of dried fruits with hints of rasberry and spice. Owing to the tannin profile perfectly suited to long ageing. Fermented with the skins, then macerated, and undergoing malolactic fermentation in the barrels. Maturation 14 months in 30% new and 70% 2nd use barrels, with 2 to 3 rackings, lightly filtered before bottling.
