The Pofadder vineyard, also located in South Africa’s renowned Swartland region, is a place where the heritage of old vines and the region’s challenging natural conditions come together to produce truly unique wines. This vineyard is planted with Cinsault, a grape variety known for its deep historical roots in the local culture. The soils, composed of shale and decomposed schist, impart a distinctive mineral nuance that is characteristic of the region.

Warm days and cool nights are a crucial combination for the slow and balanced ripening of the grapes. This results in wines that are both powerful and complex, with rich aromas of dark fruit and an earthy depth. The old vines of Pofadder, which struggle against drought conditions, produce concentrated grapes that form the foundation of a wine with a structured tannin profile and vibrant intensity.
