- 100% Chardonnay
- A single-vineyard wine from a site on the Hemel-en-Aarde Ridge that is ideally located in a mountain shadow, at high altitude and near the ocean
- The wine is named after the Bokkeveld shale and clay soils on which it is grown, which combine to provide the perfect base for a balanced, Grand Cru-rivaling wine
- Whole-bunch pressed with no enzymes, SO2 or commercial yeasts added at pressing
- After an overnight rough-settling, the juice was sent to barrel, with fermentation and ageing taking place over 10 months in a 2600L Foudre

"A wide-open structure presents a core of apple jam with a white-flower freshness. That difference in shape makes the wine feel precise, and though it lasts with a crushed-stone energy, the flavors don,t stick around quite as long. "
