WINE DESCRIPTION
The grapes for this wine are sourced from eight carefully selected vineyards in the Coastal region, including Firgrove, Stellenbosch, and Groenekloof, Darling. Each site is chosen for its natural cooling effect from close proximity to the ocean, Mediterranean climate, geological soil diversity, and superior viticultural practices.
The Fish Eagle, known for its striking black and white plumage and haunting call, is a beloved African symbol. With an impressive wingspan of around two meters, these majestic birds of prey are often seen soaring above the Robertson estate, protecting the ripe grapes from smaller birds before harvest.

Region: Western Cape
The Western Cape is a province of South Africa located in the south-western corner of the country. It is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean to the west, the Eastern Cape to the east, and the Northern Cape to the north. The Western Cape is home to some of the world's most renowned wine regions, making it a paradise for wine lovers.
The Western Cape has a long and rich history of winemaking. The first vines were planted in the region in 1655 by Dutch settlers, and the first commercial winery was established in 1685. Since then, the region has become one of the most important wine-producing regions in South Africa.CUSTOMER RATING
