Description

Richly expressive yet finely structured, this Cape Vintage dazzles with layers of ripe red berries, subtle spice, and a lift of vibrant acidity. The palate is balanced and plush, anchored by refined tannins that promise exceptional aging potential.

Crafted in a port-style from Swartland’s sun-drenched slopes, this wine will evolve beautifully over 10 to 20 years, gaining complexity with notes of licorice, wild herbs, and the region’s signature earthy depth. A true collector’s gem, ideal for special moments now or cellaring for the future.
Hand-harvested from 50-year-old Swartland vines, the grapes were chilled, gently crushed, and cold-soaked for five days. We performed soft punch-downs to extract flavor, then fortified at peak sugar ripeness with a fine wine-spirit blend. Aged 12 months in seasoned French oak and further matured in bottle for 24 months, this wine is crafted for depth, balance, and longevity.
