From a combination of Darling old vines planted in 1982 and grown on iron rich clay which is fermented in concrete using submerged cap and a semi-carbonic fermentation with a vineyard from the Paardeberg. Fermentation occurs naturally using 100% whole-bunches before aging for 8 months in 3000-liter foudre and older small French oak for the Swartland component. The 2024 has lots of layers and some beautiful red fruit with crunchy, coated tannins from the stems and fresh acidity to bring the balance. More serious structure in this small yielding vintage.
