Description
Our philosophy is one of minimal intervention, allowing the terroir to speak for itself. The grapes were picked by hand on the 3rd of March 2023 and moved directly to the press for gentle whole-bunch pressing.
Fermented in French oak barrels, 25% new, and matured on fine lees for 10 months. No fining or filtering was done prior to bottling.
Only the best barrels were bottled.
This wine, slow to unveil its allure, has a reserved nose hinting at apple blossom and stone fruit. The vibrant entry introduces citrus, leading to a tangy, chalky palate. The subtle oak adds structure, not flavour. It’s elegant, finishing with lime zest.
Tasting Notes

This is, quite simply, stunning. It s like listening to a single treble voice of a chorister filling the vaulted silence of a huge cathedral. Skin-tingling, spine-ringing purity of liquid timbre. Angelic cascades of shining fruit. I don t even want to write yuzu , lemongrass cream , grapefruit peel , fennel pollen , stream-pebble stones and apple sherbet dusted with sanded terracotta (although I clearly just have, and I could add kumquat sweetness, frangipani flowers to the list) because although this wine is a mesmerising mosaic of flavour, it s just so, so much more than that. It is a masterpiece of resonant, layered, saturated perfect pitch. It has so much integrity – in its chiffon folds, it captures South African sunshine, the glitter and wild whip of the cold Atlantic ocean, the geometric precision of salt crystals, the rockiness of the mountains that I am certain rise above the vineyard, and the fragrance of the flowers that I am certain surround it. I also love the intriguing label! And I see that I also loved the 2022 vintage of this wine. The person who makes this wine is gifted. [Tamlyn Currin, 25/03/2026]
