Price: R 350.00
Made by Chris Williams and drawn entirely from The Foundry's own Voor-Paardeberg vineyard, planted in 2000 on low-vigour granitic soils over clay on a southerly slope. Mature vines yielding barely five tonnes a hectare. Around a third whole-bunch, fermented in five-tonne steel tanks starting spontaneously, hand punch-downs giving way to gentle pump-overs, then fourteen months in older oak and terracotta with a splash of Roussanne in the blend. Perfumed and exotic: wild herbs, violets and plum with a savoury, peppery edge. Intense and rich, with structured silky tannins and a long fruit-and-spice finish.
