To achieve optimal extraction, four to five punch-downs were performed daily during the first two-thirds of the fermentation period, followed by gentle pump-overs for the remainder. The wine was left on the skins for 21 days of maceration before pressing. Subsequently, it was transferred to oak barrels for malolactic fermentation to ensure optimal oak integration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eViticulture\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cultivars for this red blend are grown in the foothills of Simonsberg, where the well-drained Hutton and Clovelly soils enhance fruit expression. The elevation of the vineyards, combined with cooling southwestern winds in summer, allows the grapes to ripen gradually.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaturation\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFollowing fermentation, the wine was aged for nearly 24 months in 55% new French oak barrels of 225 litres.

On the palate, it offers a rich, structured profile with layers of fruit, tomato cocktail, and wood, finishing with elegant and lingering velvety tannins.
