Discover the grape variety: Barras
Simple and fruity light reds with a clear ruby robe, soft tannins and an airy palate with moderate acidity, showing undemonstrative aromas of red fruits. Now almost extinct from commercial cultivation, preserved in INRAE ampelographic collections, it bears witness to the varietal diversity of the pre-phylloxera South-West vineyard. Rare French black grape, once cultivated in the South-West.

Vibrant Chenin Blanc, ample Chardonnay and lively Sauvignon in whites.
The wine region of Western Cape
Cradle of South African wine. Signature Chenin Blanc (Steen, 20%) in ample, fresh whites with notes of quince, yellow apple, honey and acacia flower, from crisp dry to sweet. Sharp, iodised Sauvignon Blanc (Walker Bay, Constantia), balanced Chardonnay. Reds: emblematic Pinotage with roasted aromas (coffee, plum, smoke), firm Cabernet Sauvignon, spicy Syrah.
The word of the wine: pH
Short for "hydrogen potential", the pH is a parameter that defines whether a medium is acidic or basic. A high pH gives a soft wine, a very low pH translates into a wine that is too acidic.
