Franschhoek – South Africa

Our Wine

We try to make a slightly different South African wine: fresher and less ‘jammy’, without overpowering alcohol. We monitor our grapes carefully and look for phenolic ripeness rather than sugar levels. We harvest when the phenolic compounds, such as tannins, colour pigments and flavonoids, have matured to an optimal level of flavour, texture and balance. Maintenance of our vineyards and the winemaking process are under supervision of our winemaker Alexandra McFarlane.
