Order this wineTranslucent ruby. Sour cherry and forest floor after rain, with a line of iodine that comes straight from the sea air. Fine-grained tannin, cool and long. This is the ridge in its most open form, for drinking while Die Kloof sleeps.
At the tableMushrooms on toast; duck breast; roast pork with fennel.
Six blocks on the lower and middle slopes, 310 to 370 metres. Dijon clones 113, 115, 667 and 777 on clay-rich shale.
A late, cool season. Rain in early January, then five dry weeks. A small crop that ripened evenly, picked 16 February to 1 March.
15% whole bunch, wild fermented in open-top tanks and punched down by hand twice a day. Eleven months in 228 litre French oak, 20% new.
