Cool-climate grapes are sourced from the Cape South Coast of the Western Cape, where a combination of sandstone, quartz, and broken shale creates a unique terroir. The cool maritime climate and strong winds temper the vineyards, restricting skyward growth and allowing for gradual ripening. This results in wines with distinctive varietal characteristics, low yields, and concentrated, complex flavors that reflect the uniqueness of the region.

This Shiraz is vital and vivid, brimming with red fruit like pomegranate, plums, and red cherries, complemented by black fruit, white pepper, and herbal tones of sandalwood. The palate is light-footed and fresh, with savory fruit melding seamlessly, and finishes with a dry, sandpapery tannin grip. Grapes are harvested early in the morning at 24° Balling and transported in cold trucks to Du Toitskloof Wines for vinification. After crushing and destemming, the mash undergoes cold soaking for 3 days. During fermentation, the rotor tanks are turned every 6 hours to ensure maximum flavor and color extraction from the skins. 100% malolactic fermentation follows the alcoholic fermentation, and the wine is aged for 20 months in French oak barrels.

This dry, red, still wine originates from the Cape South Coast and is made from 100% Shiraz.
