“Rocking Horse is our cornerstone wine, and takes its name from a wooden rocking horse that we made for our daughters out of old oak barrel staves. This is our signature wine and it is where all our work comes together to showcase our vision for a Cape White blend. The wine is composed from a number of carefully selected vineyard sites in the Western Cape.”

The wine is composed from a number of carefully selected vineyard sites in the Western Cape. The 2024 vintage is complex, nuanced and dense. The nose shows lots of f lint, ripe yellow fruit and barley water. The palate is full, rich and engaging with layers of quince, honey, saline acidity and brioche.
