Annelie Viljoen (Viticulturist) Sourced from low yielding bush vines in the Perdeberg area to ensure concentrated flavours in the berries. The vines are grown on slopes facing in a westerly direction, in medium deep shale, granite and sandstone soils and irrigated only when necessary.

Colour Green with golden tints. Bouquet Tropical fruit and asparagus aromas with just a hint of grassiness. Palate Complex and full bodied taste with a creamy texture that lingers on after every sip.
