Embark on a unique tasting journey with the Are We There Yet 2024, a captivating Malgas red blend that truly reflects its extreme terroir. This wine is a masterful blend of 57% Syrah and 43% Touriga Nacional, sourced from a remarkable vineyard on the Sijnn property along the Breede River. The vineyard’s unique river pebble and shale soils give the wine a distinctive character that’s hard to find elsewhere.
Crafted from meticulously sorted grapes, this premium red blend undergoes a spontaneous fermentation in open-top fermenters. After fermentation, the wine is aged for 10 months in old 500L French oak barrels, a process that softens its robust structure and allows its complex flavors to develop.
The 2024 vintage showcases an expressive profile of plums, cherries, and blueberries, complemented by a touch of spice from the Syrah. A distinctive, underlying oyster shell salinity adds a layer of complexity and a mineral-driven finish. Though the tannins are robust, this wine is approachable in its youth and is structured to age gracefully. It will continue to improve and evolve beautifully for the next 10 years.
