Description
“Our great-grandfather and his brother combined their resources and talents in many farming endeavours, including wine. Back then, in the early 1900’s, winemaking was very traditional and devoid of the additives and manipulations that are so prevalent these days. We’re sticking to these old-fashioned winemaking practices and trying to make wines that are simple, pure and honest.
Muscat d’Alexandrie, more commonly known as Hanepoot in South Africa, was one of the varieties they worked with.

“agteros kom ook in die kraal”, meaning “the hind ox gets there eventually”. These grapes come from the
oldest vineyard on the farm, planted in 1982. This lovingly tended vineyard was under-valued for many
years before its real potential was noticed. -
