The Vineyard
The region of Paarl in South Africa is renowned for its fine and expressive fruit, resulting in wines with depth and complexity. The unique adaptability and versatility of the Paarl Heights range, matched with a wide range of foods, or simply on their own by the glass, has been key to their success.
Vines are mostly old bush vines (average age between 20-30 years). Soils are deep red Paardeberg. No irrigation is used on the vineyards and very little crop control is needed due to the age of the vines, naturally restricting yield. All grapes are harvested by hand.
Produced from only free run juice and fermented on skins in stainless steel tanks. The wine is left on fine lees for an extended period for greater palate weight and mouthfeel.
