For this exceptional Grenache we selected parcels of fruit from out "Prisoner of War" vineyard planted in 1944 and our "Katunga" block planted in 1968. The handpicked parcels were crushed and fermented in our original open concrete vats, with daily pump overs. After primary fermentation the wine was drained and the must basket pressed, added together, then matured in American Oak barriques for 3 years, the older oak ensuring distinctive varietal characters are maintained.

It displays an elegantly perfumed nose of cherries, rose petal, chocolate and spice, while the palate exhibits sweet spicy raspberry, fruit cake, black plum and toffee apple, enhanced by savoury subtle oak.
