A combination of local and international experience spanning more than a decade in the growing and selection of fine wines enables Nico to identify the finest vineyards in the Western Cape for Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz. Vinified in a ver personal and traditional way and matured to perfection in the French oak barrels for 14 months.

100% Shiraz mostly from vineyards in�the Faure area of Stellenbosch as well as Helderberg and�Bottelary hills sites. Dark ruby with a vibrant pink rim. Generous red fruit with hints of cassis and pepper on the nose. Sumptuous entry with concentrated mulberry and fleshy plum fruit and white pepper well integrated with oak spice intrigue to the long succulent fruity finish. Soft ripe tannins give fullness and richness to the wine making it exceptionally easy to drink, whilst still retaining structure to support at least 5 years in the bottle.
