Hagen Viljoen makes this wine from two different vineyards in the Piekenierskloof, an old vine block planted in 1967 and a younger block planted in 2014. The soil consists mainly of coarsely weathered Table Mountain Sandstone, which keeps the vigour in check for these bush-vine cultivated Grenache vines. The significant diurnal temperature fluctuation from this region, enables the vines to benefit from a prolonged and even ripening process during the warm summer months, thereby facilitating optimal flavour development and berry maturation.

Wild strawberry, cranberry, and earthy notes on the nose, opening to white pepper and lavender. The palate is characterized by a red fruit with chalky tannins and a mineral savoury finish.
