Vineyards:

Located on the Schapenberg slopes in Stellenbosch.

Benefiting from a cool maritime climate, just 5 km from the ocean.

Grown on decomposed granite and sandstone soils.

Regeneratively farmed using dry-farming practices with no artificial irrigation.

Maturation:

Aged for 27 months in French oak barriques (10% new oak)

Matured partly in French oak foudres. (2020 = foudre 9.000L, 2023 = foudre 7.000L).

Extended oak ageing contributes to greater complexity, refined structure, and long-term cellaring potential.

Winemaking process:

Hand-harvested and meticulously sorted grapes.

Whole-bunch fermentation in seasoned open-top French oak foudres.

Traditional foot-treading and manual punch-downs.

Minimal-intervention winemaking to preserve natural character.

Only a small amount of sulphur added prior to bottling.

Interesting notes:

Boreas is named after the fierce wind god and reflects the cool maritime influence of the Schapenberg slopes. Only produced when a vineyard block delivers exceptional quality. The 2023 vintage follows the acclaimed debut release of Boreas.

Vinoteka

Vinoteka's note

A Cabernet Franc-led Bordeaux-style blend from Stellenbosch. Redcurrant, plum and red cherry meet cedar, pencil shavings, dried herbs and graphite. Medium- to full-bodied with a polished texture and a long, mineral finish. Decant for a couple of hours and serve with rib of beef, roast lamb or venison.

Written by the Vinoteka team from the producer's technical sheet.
