The palate is beautifully layered, offering a balance of ripe blackberry, plum, and subtle hints of pepper. Elegance and refinement shine through in its smooth texture and well-structured tannins, leading to a long and satisfying finish that highlights its complexity.
Fermentation took place in open fermentation tanks using 50% whole bunches. Two punch downs were done daily whilst the wine underwent fermentation, with the grapes being pressed gently after 30 days. Barrel maturation took place in 100% new French oak barrels for a total of 24 months before blending and bottling.

Rickety Bridge Wine Estate is undoubtedly one of the most progressive wineries in the Cape. The historic winemaking cellar was recently renovated and converted into a barrel fermentation center, the new winery was built and modern cooling equipment was installed. The newly built wine-tasting center is the perfect place to sample 200 years of winemaking tradition: taste these delightful Franschhoek wines in comfort, al fresco in summer on the winery veranda, or relaxing in front of the fire in winter. The pleasures of these outstanding South African wines extend beyond the bottle.
