Grapes were grown by Pieter Bredell on Rustenhof Farm at the bottom of the Helderberg, and made by Bernhard Bredell of Scions of Sinai for Ex Animo Wine Co. This bottling is from a different parcel of the same old vine vineyard that produces the Scions of Sinai Féniks – although it is treated differently in the cellar, with more press juice and slightly newer oak (2nd and 3rd fill). Bottled at 12.5%. (Bottle size 750ml)

Nose: Dark cherry, olive and a slightly “wild note” reminiscent of dry-aged meat.

Palate: Has good fruit expression and nicely grippy tannins. Comes across as pleasantly rustic – not unlike the style Jacobsdal used to make.

Finish: Medium length with lingering notes of dried herbs.
