Produced with fruit from two hilltop sites in the Bottelary hills, this bottling expresses all the concentration and nervous tension that comes from the sites’ extremely poor granitic soils.
Wine of Origin Stellenbosch
Mooiplaas Vineyard
Site: |
This block is planted on an east-facing slope within the Bottelary hills. |
Elevation: |
225m ASL |
Character: |
The vines, planted in an outcrop of extremely poor granitic soils, deliver incredible aromas of black fruit, fennel, and rose petals, along with bracing freshness. |
Houmoed Vineyard
Site: |
This east-facing vineyard sits atop a Bottelary ridge, directly in the path of a regular flow of cooling clouds coming in off False Bay. |
Elevation: |
290m ASL |
Character: |
Like the Mooiplaas vineyard, the granitic soils are very poor, amplifying the component’s fresh black fruit and spicy star anise notes. |
