Only seven rows of biodynamically farmed Cabernet Franc is used for this small batch wine. The Oudeberg vineyard is located on a south facing slope in the Polkadraai Hills. Soil health is maintained with cover crop mixes and the farms trusty waddle of ducks.
Kept modest, to allow the site to speak. Handpicked grapes, 15% incorporated as whole bunches, were naturally fermented in open-top vessels with regular punch downs before being basket pressed. The wine was matured in older French oak barrels for 11 months prior to bottling, unfiltered.
Perfumed nose with mulberry, dried mint and sage. The palate boasts a vibrant core of plum and blackberry flavours contrasted with subtle chalky tannins. Major aging potential.
ANALYSIS: Alc 13.5% | pH 3.51 | TA 5.7 g/l | Rs 2.8 g/l

The perennially opportunistic Knapsekêrel (Blackjack) gambles by spreading its seeds through wind, water, man and beast. This biodynamically farmed Cabernet Franc is a reminder of the delicate beauty and balance that lies in our dependence on nature and each other. – Thistle & Weed
