After years crafting wines at leading Cape estates, Erika Obermeyer established her own label to focus on small-batch wines that reflect both site and intuition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"495\" data-end=\"778\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"780\" data-end=\"1322\"\u003eFruit for this Rhône-style blend is sourced from carefully selected vineyards across the Coastal Region, including Stellenbosch, Voor-Paardeberg and Agter-Paarl. These areas bring together decomposed granite, shale and dryland bush vines - each contributing structure, perfume and freshness. The winemaking leans toward minimal intervention, with open-top fermentation and measured oak maturation (around 15 months in French barrels), allowing the wine to build texture while keeping fruit at the centre.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"780\" data-end=\"1322\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1433\" data-end=\"1485\"\u003eColour:\u003cbr data-start=\"1440\" data-end=\"1443\"\u003eDeep ruby with a vibrant, youthful edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1433\" data-end=\"1485\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1487\" data-end=\"1696\"\u003eNose:\u003cbr data-start=\"1492\" data-end=\"1495\"\u003eRed cherries and wild berries lead, followed by fynbos, black olive and a lift of white pepper spice.
