Handpicked and sorted, this 100% estate-grown fruit comes from vines planted in 1986. Some 60% of the fruit goes into the fermenter as whole bunches. 30% of the wine is aged in new French oak to bring complex smoky elements complementing the vibrant red berries and chalky tannins. No fining or filtration and minimal sulphur. 2017 will go down as one of the greatest vintages down here. The season was long and not too warm, everything seemed to happen at the right time. – Lou & Joe Holyman
