WINEMAKING
Grapes harvested by hand into lug baskets (18 kg per basket); hand sorting of grapes; destemmed and crushed (50% whole berries) and pumped to open fermenters; manual punchdowns (pigeage) 4 to 6 times per day for the duration of fermentation (7 to 10 days).

BARREL MATURATION
Matured in French oak barrels for 23 months

THE GAP is an inter-vintage blend of Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon (with some Mourvèdre and Merlot). This oak matured blend of the two varietals has resulted in a wine with complexity, rounded tannins and youthful freshness. The name and label design were inspired by the magnificent view from Grangehurst of Table Mountain and the gap between Ascension Buttress and Devil’s Peak.
