Cabernet Franc, known for its aromatic finesse and structural poise, thrives in the estate’s unique terroir at elevations between 350m and 620m above sea level. Fox’s Lair brings together Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon in a beautifully composed wine showing floral lift, fine tannins, and mineral precision.

At dawn’s first light on our mountain vineyard slopes, a fleeting glimpse of the elusive Cape Fox within the wild pockets of fynbos left untouched during the planting of the vines, inspired Fox’s Lair. This wine is a testament to our commitment to conservation.

Cellaring & Serving considerations

Bottle Position
Store wines on their side, allowing the cork to remain moistened.

Ensure controlled humidity at 50 – 80%.

Light
Avoid direct sunlight during cellaring.

Ideal Serving Temperature
White wines 12 – 14 °C.
Sauvignon Blanc  12 °C.
Chardonnay 14 °C to allow flavours to open up fully.

Consider your ambient temperature when serving wines.
