Tiny production single-vineyard wine from Adi Badenhorst's best Cinsault grapes, made with carbonic maceration. Lightly coloured but packs an intense concentration of fruit.
Amphora fermented Cabernet Franc with four months of maceration to give a depth of colour, tannin, and dark fruit flavour without oak influence. Cab Franc's characteristic green pepper edge goes in a savoury and specifically jalapeño direction.
Light bodied Red with cherry and bush fruit aromas. There’s some mineral / stone to it on the palate. A small amount of tannins from the minority grapes in the blend but it’s very fresh tasting.
Tinta Barroca is an old Portuguese grape varietal used in Port production that found its way to South Africa for Fortified wines. This wine comes from rehabilitated old vineyards to make a dry and spicy Red.
Reenan Borman's beautiful whole-bunch fermented Syrah in concrete tanks is aromatic with berries and roses with good tannin and spice on the palate. Some of the most elegant Syrah outside of the Northern Rhône.
Pinot clones 115, 667 & 777 are picked by hand, then cold-soaked before fermentation to lift aroma, in concordance with a native yeast post fermentation maceration to get the tannin in place whereafter spends 10 months in 228 liter French oak barrels (26% new and older). Nom stands for nombulelo (gratitude in “Xhosa”) and Nomkhubulwane (a forgotten African goddess of agriculture).
