Tasting Notes

Our Shiraz, named in honour of the legendary Kevin Arnold, the Estate's first winemaker, celebrates his deep passion for this exceptional cultivar.

Vinification

The grapes are hand harvested, destemmed but not crushed. The whole berries are placed into fermentation vessels to ferment for approximately 14 days. After fermentation, the grapes are pressed, and the wine is transferred to old French oak barrels for malolactic fermentation and ageing. The blend is made during the first racking at 6 months, with two additional rackings taking place during ageing before bottling.

Vineyard

This wine is a true representation of the Helderberg in Stellenbosch, with mostly estate-sourced fruit since 2017.

Maturation

Aged in older French oak barrels, including 300L, 500L, and 2,400L Foudre for a total of 23 months.
