In the Vineyard
The grapes originate from vines that were planted in 163 in the Piekenierskloof region. These bush vines grow on sandy, loamy soil and the vineyards are meticulously farmed and managed to yield below 3-4 tons per hectare.
Winemaking
The grapes were hand-harvested very early in the morning, in middle to end February, allowing the fruit to retain their natural flavour. Only free run juice was used. It was allowed to settle and inoculated with selected yeast strain and fermented in new 500L French Oa barrels for 6 months. Four 500L French Oak barrels produced.
Food Pairing
This wine can be served and paired with a variety of spicy dishes like curries, full flavoured fish, roast chicken, duck, pork chops and truffles.
Also ideal with crayfish, prawns and four cheese gnocchi.
Dreams are weird
They're like your brain's way of saying: you know what the world really needs? Nonsensical story lines that nobody questions and flying cars.
And even though we know they're absolutely bonkers and possess zero relevance whatsoever, we waste no time telling people all about them.
Nobody wants to hear it. You end up sounding like a toddler trying to explain the latest episode of Game of Thrones.
The only dream worth talking about is Martin Luther's. Fact.
Anyhoo, we had a dream we sold out by noon today and spent the rest of our time hanging out with the Red Hot Chili Peppers at Home Affairs. Crazy, huh?
