IN THE VINEYARD
ABOUT US
Sourced from dry-land bush vines rooted in deep, dark decomposed granite soils, our grapes benefit from the rich soil and the unique climate of the region. Warm summer days and cool ocean breezes from the nearby Atlantic Ocean ensure optimal ripening and maximum fruitiness.
Behind the Label: Our label design draws inspiration from the decomposition of granite soil, a characteristic feature of the Darling region. The pattern resembles that found on a vine leaf, symbolizing the deep connection between our wine and its terroir.

The story behind the label - the design drew inspiration from the decomposition of granite soil for which the Darling region is so well known, which bears the resemblance to the pattern found on a vine leaf.
The vineyard : The grapes for our Black Granite Vintage Reserve come from dry-land bush vines rooted in our deep, dark-coloured decomposed granite soils. The rich soil, warm summer days and the cool evening provided by the nearby Atlantic Ocean ensure optimal ripening and maximum fruitiness.
The cellar: The grapes are carefully selected and hand-harvested when perfectly ripe. After a gentle pressing, the rich, velvety juice is crafted through fermentation into wine. To achieve the wine’s full-bodied character, maturation takes place in a combination of French and American oak barrels and oak staves for 8-10 months.
