The fruit comes from the Kalmoesfontein farm in the Siebritskloof area of the Paardeberg mountain in the Swartland, a warm region with an average summer temperature of 75°F and limited coastal influence. Vines are planted at elevations of 590-1,082 feet across three granite soil types (Paardeberg, Lammershoek, and Lemoenfontein), with subsoils of clay, weathered granite, and shale. These bush-trained vines average 31 years old, with plantings ranging from 1952 to 2025. The estate incorporates both biodynamic and organic practices, is mostly dry-farmed using winter rainfall, and includes some vineyard work done with horses. The property also preserves substantial natural fynbos and green corridors connecting the farm to the surrounding mountain range and wetland habitats. Certified Sustainable

Planted in 1964 on decomposed granite. The old vine grapes are sorted meticulously and the whole bunches are fermented in seasoned old wooden vats and pumped over once daily. When fermentation is almost completed, the vat is pressed ,and the must is moved to a big foudre for 12 months. This wine was bottled directly off its gross lees.

Concentrated aromas of red cherry and raspberry fruit, earthiness and some spice. The palate is delicious with distinct fruit flavors, bright acidity and gentle tannins.
