The Golden Slopes wine is named after the deep yellow coloured granite rocks found in this single vineyard which was planted in 1966. Of course it can also refer to the rolling golden slopes of wheat that the Swartland is so well known for.

The soils are composite of course granite with a 15% clay component. This results in grapes that ripen slightly later than the other vineyards on the farm.  100% concrete fermentation, i.e. no oak used at all. The wine always has plenty of texture and tension on the palate, wonderfully balanced acidity, and length.

2021 shows dense citrus and yellow stone fruit with a touch of nutty notes. A creamy butterscotch mouthfeel with on this fullbodied wine, but beautifully balance with bright clean finish.
