Gravel Quarry 2021, in cellarmaster Johnnie Calitz’s words
The journey begins in our rare, gravel-rich single-vineyard, where Cabernet Sauvignon vines are rooted on what we call the inimitable Simonsberg stones. The stones provide excellent drainage, helping the vines focus their energy on ripening and accumulation of depth and flavour.
