The label pays homage to the unique, ever-shifting soils and slopes of South Africa’s Cape mountains, formed over aeons of geological time. It illustrates the dry-grown, bush-vines of the Cinsault grape that is farmed here, where their roots dig deep into the Earth's layers foraging for sustenance in these harsh conditions. Believe it or not, this is what leads to amazing wines! The harsher the conditions the better the fruit from the vine.
