AWARDS

Erika Obermeyer

in the vineyard : Railroad vineyards are all home grown. Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Petit Verdot originate from our farms in Stellenbosch and Franschhoek while the Shiraz, Mourvedre , Ruby Cabernet and Cabernet Sauvignon hail from the sunny sites in Robertson, promoting upfront fruit characteristics.

about the harvest: Harvesting took place from the end of February 2010 to the last week of March 2010.

in the cellar : Fermented in closed and open fermenters with regular pump overs and punch downs to ensure optimum fruit and soft extraction. A portion of the blend was matured in 4th fill French and American oak barrels for 6 - 10 months with the rest of the blend kept unoaked for upfront berry fruit flavours and freshness.
