Description: Bernhard Bredell grew up on his family farm in the Lower Helderberg, southeast of Stellenbosch, where his family have been farming grapes for seven generations. his goal is to make pure authentic wines from the old, dry-farmed bush vines grown here. Bernhard is low-intervention in the cellar - slow fermentation in open-top vats, ageing in old oak, no manipulations to the juice or wines and no filtration. His goal is an expression of a place, a vineyard, its history and its soil. The wine displays yellow-gold color with aromas of Chamomile, stone fruit, and mushroom/ hummus like characteristics. The palate is tannic throughout with dry citrus and Asian pear notes.
