Rex Equus

  
Rex Equus, Latin for "King of Horses", is the name we have given to our new range of premium wines. Created as a testament to the Perdeberg area's wine producing capabilities, these wines reflect the true characteristics of each cultivar - showing off ample fruit, good oak integration and rich texture. Passion and dedication has shaped this premium range, adding a personal and intimate touch that ensures these wines will be enjoyed for years to come.
 
Rex Equus: a labour of love
Origin: Paarl
 
Vineyards: The vineyards selected for these wines have proved themselves over years to deliver outstanding quality. We identify the best rows within these vineyards and painstakingly manage them to ensure they deliver the best quality possible.
 
Vinification: The grapes are harvested in small batches and individually fermented in open top fermenters. Selected yeasts and techniques are used during fermentation that suits each batch accordingly. Grapes are then pressed in a traditional basket press to ensure that there are no harsh tannins extracted during the process. After alcoholic fermentation, the wine is pumped to barrel where it undergoes secondary fermentation. We use hand selected French and American oak barrels to ensure the wine is matured according to the style and market it is destined for.
