While ripening was slow and extended, harvest was fortunately complete before the first rains in early…
Made using uncomplicated (not simple) winemaking techniques, this is an athletic, chiseled and precise wine. It embraces the very adult tastes of salinity, brininess and minerality, all of which are the hallmarks of the great and classic white wines of the world.

Peter and Max are the first names of the growers who supplied the fruit for the first vintage of this wine. The fruit sources have since changed but the name remains to honor the beginnings of our multi-vineyard Pinot Noir blend.

This is our highest altitude Granite soil vineyard on the Paardeberg from which we expect our most elevated perceived freshness, flintiness and blossom-like perfume. This contributes towards linear ageing, due to the decomposed soils allowing for…

Production Notes: Whole bunches were put into open top 500L French oak barrels and foot stomped to release some juice. Fermentation with…

These rocky soils limit vine size and so the clusters and individual grapes in turn remain smaller with a higher skin to juice ratio, offering denser, more brooding tannins. Production Notes: Whole…
