Providence

An excellent companion to Springbok medallions in a red wine jus with fresh seasonal vegetables and drizzled with parsley butter. Also pairs beautifully with a rich lamb stew, home-made ham & pea soup, venison, duck, or Thai green curries. Delicious with flambéed black cherry and cream filled crêpes, and with a cheese platter.

The heritage wines, all handcrafted from old character plantings on our farm in Wellington, celebrate a unique combination of the decomposed granite terroir, the exceptional light and the timeless mastery of the winemaker, and offer an enduring expression of the classic Cape wine tradition so globally envied of this region for centuries.

A Rhône style blend, all cultivars are from low yielding, dry land vines resulting in concentrated colours and intense fruit flavours.

50% of the wine was wooded and matured in barrels for 16 months. The wine was blended and bottled, unfiltered, in September 2022.

A Rhône style blend of Syrah, Cinsault and Grenache Noir, the best fruit from each vineyard was selected and all cultivars were picked at optimum ripeness and fermented separately. The Syrah and Grenache Noir were fermented in open fermenters. The Cinsault was fermented in new French oak barrels, making for early wood integration. Most of the fruit was kept intact with whole bunch fermentation the norm.
