The Treinspoor vineyard, located in the heart of the Swartland region in South Africa, is an exceptional site that embodies the strength and potential of old vines. Planted with the grape variety Tinta Barocca, a Portuguese variety, this vineyard sits on soils rich in shale and granite, giving the wine a distinct mineral undertone. The dry, warm conditions of Swartland, combined with cool nights, allow for a balanced and slow ripening of the grapes, resulting in concentrated flavors and complex aromas.

The location offers excellent exposure to the sun, enabling the grapes to achieve optimal ripeness. This translates into wines with powerful dark fruit aromas, complemented by subtle earthy tones and a distinctive spiciness. The old vines, which root deeply into the poor soils, contribute to the rich tannin structure and depth of the wines.
