parcels of vineyard with amazing potential and utilizing it to unleash its world class quality.
The Syrah and Viognier fruit come from Malmesbury (Swartland) with its unique growing
conditions and dryland farmed vineyards to ensure it deep-rooted vines and therefore optimal
concentration of colour, flavour and tannin structure.

Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and around 10% Merlot. 20 months French oak, never
more than 50%. Big plush nose, with that very characteristic herbal note that Mike celebrates
as part of the Warwick terroir. Strong minty and eucalypt character. A touch of rubber, but the
thick, sweet, ripe fruit powers through.

SWARTLAND CUVEE BRUT NV ~ SWARTLAND R 35 / R 210
Stones have no flavour that they impart on wine - they simply make the soil less. If there is less
soil the vine produces more con-centrated fruit, the same happens with old vines, also when
vines are planted in high density. As the rock opposes the vine so does a nearby plant; and age
limit growth and crop. Life from Stone has the good fortune to have all these 3 concentrating
factors in its favour — thus the unmatched complexity of a great wine.
