“Super Single Vineyards focus on the production of handcrafted wines from specially selected single vineyards throughout the Western Cape and the newly allocated Sutherland-Karoo region. Our pursuit for the finest fruit is never at an end.”

Grapes originating from the first vineyards in the newly allocated Sutherland-Karoo region. One of the highest vineyards in South Africa, planted at 1500m above sea level. One of the coldest wine growing regions in South Africa. Yielding 3 tons per hectare.

Aged for 14 months in French oak barrels, of which 20% new. South Africa’s first true continental climate wine. All Organic practices.

Fruit cold soaked for 10 days at 8o Celsius. Pumped over 3 times daily to maintain a low temperature in the cap. Whole-bunch fermentation at low temperatures. Both free-run and press juice were used.
